Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C

This is my Airfix 1:72 scale Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C depicting the aircraft which took part in the  'Belize Overflight' from No. 809 NAS, HMS Ark Royal, January 1972. 





This build was inspired by Roland White’s book, Phoenix Squadron, in which a pair of Buccaneer fighter bombers were launched from Ark Royal on an unprecedented long-range mission to overfly Belize so as to deter Guatemala from invading the then colony, British Honduras.
