I think this a an old Naval Buccaneer of the Fleet Air Arm. As a child I once witnessed one crash into the sea off Lossiemouth when it was a RN, Naval Air Station.

Nice one. Fairey Gannet - ex of HMS Ark Royal. I visited the museum about 31/2 years ago. See page 10 of my portfolio for more info. 🧐
