Blackburn Bucaneer engine Run.

Blackburn Bucaneer engine Run at Yorkshire air museum. The Blackburn Aircraft Company NA.39 was a rugged carrier-borne, high-speed low-level strike aircraft and in its production form, it became famous as the 'Buccaneer'.
The Blackburn NA.39 prototype (XK486) was first flown at RAE Bedford on 30th April 1958, piloted by Derek Whitehead.
Blackburn & General Aircraft were absorbed into Hawker Siddeley Aviation Ltd (HSA) during 1960 but the company continued to trade under its original identity until on 1st July 1963. Under HSA, a 'Divisional structure' was created and Blackburn became the Hawker-Blackburn Division. Thereafter, all products were styled as 'Hawker Siddeley' types, rather than under the name of their original parent firm.

I remember them well flying through our area, a wonderful sight then! The thought of how much it would take to put one back in the air, though...
