the Ultimate Buccaneer Vid.
Sleeve Photography: Andrew Brooks.
Taken over the final six months of flying from Lossiemouth. This video contains some of the most impressive filming ever seen featuring the 'Bucc', including 'in-cockpit' footage of the last ever Diamond 9 flypast over Lossie. 26/3/94.
"Faster, Lower, Longer" was the way in which this legendary jet was flown. The last of the great British jet aircraft had served with distinction. This programme provides you with a spectacular visual tribute to the Buccaneer featuring: air to air action, in-cockpit and high speed low-level attack sequences. Buccaneers fly in Gibraltar for the last time, including a display over the 'Rock'. Head on take offs, an arrester cable landing. We head skywards as the Buccaneer re-fuels with a Hercules for the last time. Formation flying over land and sea, and the final flypast at R.A.F. Lossiemouth. This exclusive video enables you to experience at close range one of the finest heavy metal war machines in aviation history. April 1994 and the Buccaneer had flown her last sortie. FAREWELL BUCC. approx 48 mins.

Foreword
Bill Bedford OBE, the first Harrier test Pilot, details the early evolution of the aircraft including film of the first ever 'tethered' hovering by the Harrier prototype P1127. This unique insight into the pioneer days of 'vectored thrust' complements the major technological advances that have led to the development of the Harrier GR-7.
"Strapping into the jet, I fire up the auxilliary power unit. An orchestra of cooling fans, busbars and spinning gyroscopes begin to play. Slowly but surely the aircraft comes to life as the head-up display and both computer screens illuminate... floating inverted down the runway, I watch the crowd go by through the top of the canopy. Rolling upright, I pull back hard on the stick. The wing explodes in a ball of vapour as my body is pushed into seat under gravitational force... pointing at the crowd , I move the nozzles to the braking position and select full power. The aircraft decelerates violently, slowing to a hover in a matter of seconds. Through the mass of green writing in the head-up display I can distinguish individuals in the crowd.
What an incredible aircraft the Harrier is to display!
Flt Lt Rob Lea, RAF.
