Buccaneer Aircraft Print Pack by Randall Wilson and Michael Rondot. Aviation Print Pack. Items in this pack : Item #1 - Click to view individual item XMR3. Blue -Fire! by Michael Rondot. Buccaneer aircraft in action, launching a co-ordinated attack with Sea Eagle anti-ship sea-skimming missiles, the moment when the leader of the first element (callsign Blue) achieves his firing solution and initiates the ripple launch of his formations missiles by breaking radio silence with the traditional 208 Squadron radio call of Blue,-Fire! Nightmare scenario. Dusk over an empty sea. With lights out and in radio silence, three Buccaneers, each armed with 4 Sea-Eagle missiles, prepare to attack a Surface Action Group still beyond radar range. 150 miles away, three more Buccaneers are approaching the same target in a pincer attack timed to hit the target at exactly the same time. The first warning that the target will receive of the attack is when all 24 missile radar seekers switch on at close range for the final phase of the attack. Whilst the Buccaneers escape unseen, the defenses will be swamped with their worst nightmare - two volleys of missiles approaching without warning, at wave-top height, at 180 degrees to each other.

Name Info Barry Laight (deceased) *Signature Value : £10 (matted) An engineer known for his design of the Buccaneer, he went on to become Chief Designer of the Hawker division of the famed aviation company Hawker Siddeley, and was Director for Military Projects in the late 1960s. He died on 6th October 2012. Wg Cdr Bill Cope *Signature Value : £10 (matted) Wing Commander Bill Cope was the Officer Commanding the Buccaneer Gulf War Detachment and when asked why the Buccaneers had been detached to the Gulf when there were already Tornadoes in that location, he answered: 'The Buccaneer is like my grandmother – old but formidable!'. The proof of that statement came when No.208 Sqn was tasked with 108 sorties, all of which were successful. All Squadron personnel were awarded the Gulf War Medal, as well as the Saudi and Kuwaiti medals for that campaign. Wg Cdr Cope was also awarded the Order of Bahrain for his part in the action.
