No prizes for guessing what this filling station is named after. The owner bought a Buccaneer aircraft when they became surplus to requirements in 1994, and installed it beside the forecourt. There is also a small exhibition of Buccaneer photographs and memorabilia inside the shop. A detailed history of this aircraft is at http://www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/S2B_XW530_files/0_S2B_XW530.html
