898 t t FLIGHT, 14 December 196! we jc TAKE A BRACE of Blackburn Buccaneers and a Hunter Two- seater, splice with the skill and verve of three of the Royal Navy's most experienced pilots, invite aboard a Flight photographer, and some of the exciting results are as seen on these two pages. Pilot of the photographic Hunter was Cdr A. J. Leahy, MBE, DSC, who commands 700Z Flight, the Buccaneer intensive flying trials unit, at RNAS Lossiemouth. Flying the Buccaneer seen in a LABS manoeuvre at left, with dramatic wing-tip trails, was Lt Cdr E. R. Anson, the unit's Senior Pilot. In the tail-chase depicted at right, with Lt Cdr Anson hotly pursued by Lt B. R. Toomey, the Buccaneer's area rule and dive-brake tail-section are much in evidence.
