WV908 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Morning all, Reading through Tornado Boys and it's mentioned that there were several Buccaneer 'hacks' used to test flight systems - fortunatley one of them, XX897, is obvious due to it's foxhunter radar nose. Does anyone know what the other Buccs were? Thanks, WV908 Edited April 9, 2020 by WV908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 They were the main one,s no doubt the three XW reg RAE aircraft also carried components but the two above plus XX897 were the ones with visible mods to them . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
