'Sky Pirate' was commissioned by Andrew Brooks and AvCollect not only to commemorate the Lossiemouth Buccaneer Wing that were called upon to 'support' the Tornado force during the Gulf War of 1991 But also as a final tribute to the 'Banana Jet' that once again did 'The Business' in an environment totally at the opposite end of the spectrum to what it was originally designed to do!!
To make this a very special Buccaneer Collectors package, they have been signed by the Aircrew who carried out this audacious mission, Group Captain Bill Cope and Flt Lt Carl Wilson!
plus our 'Air Crew Edition' of 100 have been signed by 27 Signatories that span the entire history of the Buccaneer! From the original Test Flights to the Royal Navy, The Royal Air Force and of course, the Gulf War in 1991
The Aircrew Edition surely must be the Ultimate Buccaneer Collectors Piece!
