Born in the 1950s when the Cold War was rapidly escalating, the subsonic Blackburn Buccaneer was designed as a carrier-borne strike aircraft, which eventually went on to serve both the Royal Navy & the RAF.

The Buccaneer entered service with the Royal Navy in 1962 & was capable of operating from aircraft carriers to deliver nuclear weapons as well as conventional ordnance for anti-shipping strikes against Soviet warships in the North Sea area.

With changes in Britains defense strategy & a reduction in the number of its aircraft carriers, the Navy transferred its Buccaneers to the RAF in 1969 where they were used in the overland role & they went on to see combat action in the first Gulf War of 1991.

The last Buccaneers were retired from RAF service in 1994.

The McLaren MP4/4 is the iconic Honda V6 turbo-powered F1 car built by McLaren for the 1988 grand prix season, driven by Ayrton Senna & Alain Prost.

Remarkably, the car won all but one race during 1988, & took McLarens then-new recruit Senna to his first Drivers World Championship after a season-long battle with team-mate Prost.

McLaren achieved an astonishing 10 one two finishes with the car, & suffered only two car-related retirements during the season.

The MP4/4 is still statistically the most dominant F1 car ever built. Ironically, the fact that McLaren was already an enormously successful & well-resourced team prior to 1988 has led to the assumption that producing another winning car in the form of the MP4/4 was simply business as usual.

The truth is rather different, with many challenges along the way, mistakes to resolve &, as ever in motor racing, an element of luck, all playing a part in the MP4/4s extraordinary success.
