Excellent footage.

I remember being on the bridge of the Glasgow in 87 on a JMC when she was bounced by a 4 ship of Buccs.

Didnt have to look up at them, they were at eye level, heading straight towards us.

The SHARS that followed about 2 minutes later we had to look up at, about 45 degrees up, but not the Buccs.

Great memories, great aircraft. Are there still any airworthy on the display circuit?

I suppose the GR4 did eventually deliver the sort of "next generation" Bucc type capability, didnt it? Will the F35 finally be everything the Bucc was and more?

Thoughts?
