EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Hawker-Siddeley Buccaneer S.2B XW988 of the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) stands proudly on static display at RAF Boscombe Down in July 1990. This iconic British military aircraft, with its distinctive delta wing and powerful engines, was a staple of the Royal Navy's fleet from the late 1950s until its retirement in the late 1990s. XW988, along with two other Buccaneers, was specifically ordered for the use of the Royal Aircraft Establishment at RAE West Freugh for trials and testing. The RAE is the UK's leading organization for research and development in aerospace technology, and the acquisition of these aircraft was a significant investment in the ongoing advancement of aviation capabilities. The Buccaneer was a versatile aircraft, capable of both ground-attack and maritime strike roles. Its advanced design and powerful engines made it a formidable presence in the skies, and its ability to take off and land on short runways made it an ideal choice for the Royal Navy. In this image, XW988 is shown at RAF Boscombe Down, a site renowned for its role in the development and testing of military aircraft. The backdrop of the Wiltshire countryside adds to the sense of history and tradition associated with this important site. The Buccaneer's service with the RAE marked the end of its active military career, but its legacy continued in the realm of aeronautical research and development. This photograph serves as a reminder of the important role that the Royal Aircraft Establishment played in the evolution of military aviation technology, and the enduring legacy of the Hawker-Siddeley Buccaneer.
