AnonymousER99 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi all Well I am now in need of some good close up pics of the open airbrake on the Buccaneer. I have seen two general shots on Airliners.net and a couple searching google as well as one not so good shot in my Aeroguide. What I need are good high res close in shots of the innards such as the actual opening/closing mechanism and the holes across the faces of the brake. I need to know if these are just holes or if they have some sort of "tube" inside of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexwh773 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Oi Yankee Mike does this mean you & Mike V are gonna be doin some Buccy bits? 1:72 hopefully, even better would be some S1 intakes & jet pipes? Hey I just happen to have access to only runable S1 Buccy in the world Bex von Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousER99 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks a million for the pics and linkys everyone!! The shot you posted Ed is what the doctor ordered. I see the holes are indeed blanked off so thats a big help. Yes I am doing up masters for open and closed Bucc airbrakes for the 1/48 Airfix kit. If I had a 1/72 Airfix Brick I would possibly do the same. The Harrier LERX has met RTV and production is underway as I type this. Now its on to the Bucc stuff A quick note about Mike V and I....I love the European stuff and Mike V likes the US stuff. Great mix if you ask me Cheerios Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bradley Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Mike, I have Airfix, Matchbox and Frog 1/72 kits, plus the Airfix 1/48. Would you like to borrow the relevant bits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Taken at Bournmouth Aviation Museum, which I heard today has been closed.. Yeh, real shame - not only was it a neat little museum with some nice exhibits (though why the Brick was in such an awful paint scheme defeats me!!) but it had one of the best viewing areas left on a UK airfield.

Keef Ok Im a volunteer at Gatwick, but I have to be honest, Bournemouth had a great veiwing area for the active airfield and some great exhibits that they allwoed access to.

tedtaylor Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Very much help indeed OzH!!Thanks much for the help!! Mike Mike i have several shots close up and with full details of the mechanism but I need a day or two to find them took them at Abbingdon some years back Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I have some photos, taken at Abingdon, of a Buccaneer back-end, minus the clamshells, so that the mechanism is visible, plus the backside of the clamshells, so that their mechanism can be seen. There's an underneath shot, of the whole thing, in there, too. If they'd be any use, let me know, and I'll scan them, and send them over. Frank Brown was planning a Buccaneer as a future Echelon kit, so we took dozens of photos. Edgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
