The Blackburn (Hawker Siddeley) Buccaneer was a British two-seat subsonic strike aircraft that served with the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm and later the Royal Air Force. The Buccaneer made its first flight on April 30, 1958, and entered operational service in July of 1962. The Royal Navy procured the Buccaneer as a strike aircraft capable of operating from aircraft carriers. In addition to conventional munitions for anti-shipping warfare, the aircraft was capable of delivering nuclear weapons and were typically active in the North Sea area during service. Buccaneers were used in the 1991 Gulf War and the South African Border War.
