Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C 'Belize Overflight' from No. 809 NAS, HMS Ark Royal, January 1972.

This build was inspired by Roland White’s book, Phoenix Squadron, in which a pair of Buccaneer fighter bombers were launched from Ark Royal on an unprecedented long-range mission to overfly Belize so as to deter Guatemala from invading the then colony, British Honduras.
