EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the power and grace of a Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer S.2B (XV337) as it soars through the skies above Greenham Common during the International Air Tattoo on 25 June 1977. The Buccaneer, an iconic British military aircraft, was operated by the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment (AAEE) based at Boscombe Down. The Buccaneer was a versatile and formidable aircraft, designed for both maritime strike and ground attack roles. Its distinctive delta wing design and powerful Rolls-Royce Spey engines made it a popular choice among aviation enthusiasts. In this image, we see the Buccaneer in its element, with the blue skies and verdant landscape of Greenham Common providing a stunning backdrop. Peter Butt, the skilled photographer, expertly captured the moment as the Buccaneer performed a flypast at the International Air Tattoo, an annual airshow held at Greenham Common. The event showcased an impressive array of military and civilian aircraft from around the world, attracting aviation enthusiasts and spectators from far and wide. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the enduring allure of the Buccaneer. It transports us back to a time when the skies were filled with the sound of roaring engines and the thrill of watching aircraft in flight. A true treasure for any aviation or military history enthusiast, this image is a must-have for any collection.
