A scan from one of my slides of probably my best aerial shot of a Buccaneer. This was taken at the 1991 USAFE 'Open House' at RAF Upper Heyford. XV863 was one of two jets regularly used during that display season and retained its rather worn Gulf War scheme and memorable nose art of 'Debbie the Sea Witch'. The jet is launching and keeping characteristically low to begin its impressive display. Taken with a Pentax ME Super fitted with a Sigma 400mm manual focus prime lens. Manual wind on in those days too, so just one shot to get it!
