Country: | Hey V2, you are obviously a YouTube/Live Leak fanatic; any sign of the Buccaneer clip I mentioned in post #46?
Date would have been around 1976/7, but someone must have a copy somewhere……..  | |

Here's some low level strafing to watch. Cool flying over poor wrecked German air fields. Some me 262's in the clip, and some Stuka's. What were they doing? Were they even fighting much in 1944?
That PBY was nuts! It's no fighter!

However, showing off, it weaved its way up the beach from the 09 end, over the sand dunes in amongst the approach lights and went aground in an impressive cloud of flying sand when it lost its ‘air’ as it tried to traverse a too-acute sand dune crest! It sat there teeter-tottering on the ridge like something from a Tom & Jerry cartoon and promptly became an Obstruction for 3 days while the Navy dug it out. 
How we laughed!  I thought my trousers would never dry!
Strike Command were not impressed  as Leuchars always held ‘Northern Q’ and used to launch about 3 or 4 times a week in those days.
