I’m told they still have a lot of work to do before it’s complete.

I’ve also spotted more advanced pictures..

Newarks Bucc is looking very good indeed now, well done to the team involved with restoring it.

Beat me by a whisker!! Just sent in my anniversary feature on the Buccaneer S.Mk.1 to Model Airplane International with four pages of colour art. Would have loved to include XN964’s temporary markings.

Modellers on this site should also log onto my site and download a full set of drawings from which they can print out their own decals.

With thanks also to Andy White and his extensive knowledge of the Buccaneer’s history, who helped me along this project.
