Pass The Bucc
Surfing for pics and sources of info on the Buccaneer, now that I've "a few" in the stockpile, and I came across this excellent site - Blackburn Buccaneer: The Last British Bomber, a site dedicated to the 193 aircraft built by Brough, just down the road from Hull 
Digging through the info, there's news of CAA approval to get one (XX885) airborne in the UK 
Now, for those hip readers, there's clips of a black Bucc in the recent Will Young video, but that's one of the 3 ex-RAE aircraft now based in South Africa.
The company, Hawker Hunter Aviation, has a fleet of aircraft for various commercial roles. More can be found on their site, including lots of pics of Hunters, which I know will make one reader very happy

Blimey, Alan, did you only just post this? It's a month old!
Mmm. Hunters. Mmm.
So - are we going to an air display this year, then? If so, which?

Well, it was in the system a month ago, but I only got round to changing the status to Publish last night. There's a few of these I need to sort. Problem of having five minutes in the day to capture my thoughts, and forgetting come the evening to sort it all out!
As for Hunters, I'll post up something more relevant in a few days time ;)
