Buccaneer XX901 had a fascinating service record with the Royal Air Force. In 1983, it took part in the only deployment by Buccaneers to the Falklands and XX901 later saw action over Beirut. In the 1991 Gulf War it flew 14 operational missions. It had the rather unique distinction of destroying a taxiing Iraqi transport aircraft with a laser guided bomb. XX901 was saved from scrapping by the Buccaneer Aircrew Association and is on display now. Here it is seen shortly after its 'wild years' at Volkel, during a 1992- exercise.
