Aah, that's really good to read. One of my most favourite aircraft to watch and hear.

Even though a particularly good flypast by one of them in the late 70s got Graduation Flypasts banned from RAF Linton-on-Ouse just before my own graduation parade.

Chief Instructor looked across his first floor office and all he saw was a plan view of the centre section of a Bucc and the top of two helmets going past at high speed; it had almost 90 degrees of bank on at the time. This was followed by his very surprised PA, who had his back to the window as the noise hit them, throwing the mid morning coffee and biscuit tray over the CI.
