I had the pleasure to work on 237 OCU many years ago at RAF Honington and RAF Lossiemouth, I loved Buccaneers and was always my favourite aircraft

[@CBGSpotter]

Lovely stuff, awesome aircraft.

[@davidallan3736]

Elliot, thanks very much or posting the video, brings back some great memories.
HI Pete Buck, me too. Both Lossie & Honington.
I see there's a 237 ship in the video.

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

I agree with the announcer that was spectacular, I've never seen one of these fly or taxi in person, very impressive aircraft. Huge Thumbs Up.

[@CBGSpotter]

Thanks. These are epic jets!

[@allgood6760]

Awesome mate.. thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿

[@CBGSpotter]

No problem 👍

[@davidclarke6718]

My favourite jet as a child loved watching this jet when they came to Barton air show in the eighties

[@CBGSpotter]

Beasts aren't they!

[@darrenhillman8396]

Cracking video. Good viewpoint too. Saw them run yesterday at Bruntingthorpe - spectacular as ever!

[@CBGSpotter]

Thanks Darren, I was stuck in Cambs for the Rafales sadly, roll on August :)

[@gary6514]

An aircraft developed to deliver a nuclear weapon against Soviet warships. Such a fantastic British jet fighter....

[@CBGSpotter]

Awesome bit of kit!

[@matthewinsydneyful]

You can see where the Tornado design came from!

[@CBGSpotter]

You can.

[@ianstewartaviation2634]

Excellent Video, they look amazing:)) Liked!!!

[@RB28v]

Hopefully the Thunder City ones will be flying again. They were recently purchased with the intention of restoring them to flight. An engine run was done with Buccaneer S2B ZU-BCR (former RAF XW987) in Jan 2022

[@CBGSpotter]

Would be great to see one flying once again. I'm to young to recall them in service :(

[@RB28v]

@@CBGSpotter sure would. I also never saw them in service as they were retired in 91. I was lucky enough to see the Thunder City ones fly though. What a sight

[@johndavid5618]

No. "The great buccaneer has landed in port elizabeth south africa. ❤️💪💪💪🇬🇧

[@nichollischwindt8704]

I'm wondering. What British aircraft was the most feared airplane you guys made?

[@CBGSpotter]

I'd think the Vulcan or Lightning?

[@nichollischwindt8704]

Okay. They sound mean too.

[@AHAVIATION95]

Amazing video mate

[@CBGSpotter]

Thanks!

[@WilliamB161]

Amazing video my friend

[@CBGSpotter]

Thank you!

[@Altenholz]

Like this old monsters!!!!

[@CBGSpotter]

Me to!

[@thecorknicehero3073]

Which was the loudest jet that did the fast taxi run at bruntingthorpe? Was it the buccaneer or the electric lightning?

[@CBGSpotter]

Lightning is impressive.

[@thisisadebrown]

I remember being on 208 the mid to late 80s... Don’t think there is a ground runner but is in the turnaway to markings is there?

[@CBGSpotter]

Thanks a lot for watching. Im not sure on that one sorry.

[@Brecconable]

YES! Will it be airborne though?

[@CBGSpotter]

Haha no chance there!

[@Brecconable]

ElliotL- CBGSpotterHD Shit! I really want to see one of them low pass

[@gasterthescreamingbanshee8673]

Is this the Buccaneer S.2?

[@CBGSpotter]

Yep :))

[@geminijets7568]

nice

[@CBGSpotter]

Cheers!

[@timon3211]

"if that wasnt spectacular then i dont know what is" well i do how about a flying buccaneer or idk the avro vulcan (if she still flew sad times)

[@CBGSpotter]

All very true, but I learn to enjoy what we have, not what we want.

[@Joe8648]

did not fly was really disappointing.

[@CBGSpotter]

Can you not read the title of the video?!

[@timon3211]

They are grounded for reasons of saftey i mean they could fly if they put alot and i mean ALOT of money into it

[@keithgray2070]

eh well you are 24 yrs late unfortunatly , i must say living on the NE coast of scotland in the late80s was a great privilage to see these awsome machines doining the what was called the LTM - long- toss -manovre ie drop and get to fuck cos it coulld be nuclear device although not as we no rite now it was 80s low level hands on pilot to plane and nothing comes close to the bucaneer [if you ever have privaligage to ask a ex bucaneer -nav about his times lossie or germany , i would say respects good evening !

[@richskinns]

Now you are talking

[@CBGSpotter]

What a sound!

[@Joe8648]

so they waist a bunch of jet fuel just to taxi around

[@CBGSpotter]

Currently there are no flying cold war Icons like these, its as near to
experiencing the real thing as possible. A lot of hard work is put into
keeping these running and they put on a good show 2 times a year.
