Blackburn Buccaneer - Survivors
XX900 taxiing at Bruntingthorpe; author
The Buccaneer hasn't done too badly in retirement, with a substantial number of complete airframes in preservation, three flying for some time in South Africa, several ground runners in the UK (plus one getting very close to flying) and various nose sections. The airframe, like the Sea Vixen, was built to handle the tough environment of carrier operations, and this stands them in good stead for display purposes, even in the great outdoors - especially if regular maintenance is carried out.
