This page will be revamped in due course; rather than remove all these images I have left them in place for the time being, though many are of poor quality these days.

All but four of these pictures are of the cockpit of S.2B XW988, one of Mike Beachyhead's two South African-based Buccaneers. Kindly supplied by Louis Vosloo, they remain his copyright and if you want to use them for anything other than personal use you must contact him for his permission. XW988 (now ZU-AVI) was used by the RAE and as such its cockpit may differ from RAF-operated S.2Bs in some details. The other four pictures are my own and are of S.2B XT288 at East Fortune and two ejector seats.

Thanks for providing both a reference to Britains once great aircraft industry, and a pictorial aid to us modellers seeking detail accuracy. | |
