The Blackburn Buccaneer was a low-level subsonic strike plane with nuclear weapons capability. It was used by the UK’s Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force between 1962 and 1994, including service in the 1991 Gulf War. Designed and initially made by Blackburn Aircraft at Brough, it was later called the Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer when Blackburn became a part of the Hawker Siddeley group.
Lt Tom Lofthouse gained an A-Level in Fine Art whilst studying for his GCSE's. He has subsequently studied Aeronautical Engineering, worked as a systems engineer for a couple of years before becoming a trainee pilot in the Fleet Air Arm.
When he is not flying, he finds sketching a welcome way of relaxing and an opportunity to re-ignite a childhood passion. He predominantly sketches Aircraft due to having such a close association with them but has a wide portfolio of Military sketches. Each sketch is available as a print sized 210mm x 300mm and signed by Lt Tom Lofthouse. Originals are available on request.
