@flakmagnet0: CLEAR TAXI | Blackburn Buccaneer S.1 — Royal Navy, 1965 🇬🇧 Step aboard HMS Eagle and witness Royal Navy carrier aviation during the mid 1960s. This archival footage documents the demanding flight deck routines of the Fleet Air Arm’s Buccaneer S.1, including preflight inspections, ground crew preparations, catapult positioning and steam assisted launches. The Buccaneer was purpose built for high-speed, low-level maritime strike missions, designed to penetrate enemy radar coverage while delivering conventional or nuclear weapons. A fascinating glimpse into Britain’s Cold War naval aviation era, when carrier-based strike aircraft and their crews operated from the Royal Navy’s remaining conventional carriers. #History #historytok #aviation #aviationhistory #royalnavy

And just think, the UK can’t get more than three ships out beyond Spitbank today.
