Seen it today looked stunning as I was on my way to hull,wondered why there was people on bridges with cameras, thought it was the csa or tax man 
If I’m not ,mistaken, that’s a Blackburn Buccaneer. I think the South Africans are the only one’s flying them now.

Not the 1 in the pic , seen them picking up some sort of silo from queen Elizabeth docks in hull , and just in general I’ve seen a few heavy/abnormal loads etc using LHD units just wondered why?
When you get to the heavier end theres an awful lot of extra engineering in heavy haulage trucks that isn’t immediately obvious, but the market is small so that to design and build them for the RH drive market as well as the left would be cost prohibitive, even sometimes when they do build them, then heavy haulage companies will buy the more common LH drive because they work out cheaper simply due to the higher volumes produced
Ahh cheers rikki
It’s surprising how big some of this stuff actually is, I used to be a regular at airshows and museums and have seen aircraft of all shapes and sizes and as there is not much around to compare them against in my mind Buccaneers and Hunters etc were smallish. Clearly the Buccaneer is bigger than I thought and seeing the Hunter on top of the Vanguard building highlights the size of that too.
Remember walking around Buccaneers as a toddler at Boscombe Down Airshow and to a littlun they seemed big but seeing it on that lowloader, it doesn’t look and smaller!
