Nice to see 020 in the FAA livery, always liked the two tone version myself ;)

Well said - but shame it's a 2B with Bomb Door Tank though, so non-representative of the original 020!

Foldie:ok:

Quite right foldie. It looks terrific, but it's all wrong; either get rid of the bomb door tank, or paint it in an RAF livery. Sure, an S2B of 208 Sqn at Lossie was painted in the 020 (809) livery for anniversary purposes, but that was cosmetic. Does it matter - probably yes. I'd be willing to paint yet another daube to help raise funds! hmgartwork.com

Yes at farewell the buccaneer at Lossiemouth March 25/27 1994 . Buccaneer 020 xx894 was the only a/c painted in FAA livery showing R and 809 crest on the tail:ok:

To all those who have spent many hours restoring what (in my opinion) was the best aircraft in the RAF, I would like to thank you for your effort and devotion. The Buccaneer open day was great, especialy the 3 ship fast taxi. Thank You.

SS,

the best aircraft in the RAF

With 2500 hrs in the back seat, I have to agree with you!

Great to see 894 still has the 12sqn fox on the nosewheel door!

Leads the field!

What an amazing day, and an outstanding piece of work by The Buccaneer Aviation Group. The 3 ship made my day, and Oscar looks fantastic. :D

I am getting a little tired of asking that people follow the rule that pics must only be posted using 850x850 pics. Please follow the rule.
