[Closed] Planes (again)

And now I'm trying to work out where it might have been taken...

Well I didn't credit the photo before so as should have:

There are a couple of listings of what's what in the thread, I'll not cut and paste them in case of spoilers for anyone still scratching their heads. I'll just say 1957 is a bit late for a B29.

KB-29?

The US Air Force had tanker variants of the B-29 based in the UK, circa 1957.

The one at the front is a Hillman Imp.

That's definitely a B-50 to the left, an aircraft that I didn't even know existed until now! Zooming in you can clearly see the intakes underneath the engine nacelles, and to outboard drop-tanks. Amazing photo, that!

Lots of reference to the Buccaneer video, Red Flag and other exploits here including an alleged incident where two Buccaneers hid under a Vulcan to evade detection

I've read about the Buccaneers hiding underneath the Vulcan, sound plausible, and just the sort of thing they'd be likely to do just for the shits'n'giggles

@pjm1974 - I remember the video being talked about, the Buccanneers looked like they were prairie dogs popping up at random locations. It's not the one you've linked, it was filmed from a fixed position ground camera presumably mounted on a "gun" as the commentary from the operator was getting increasingly exasperated trying to track the planes.
Seems that the footage you're referencing was originally shown on BBC Nationwide but has subsequently disappeared. Plenty of people have looked for it though.

That's exactly the film I was talking about, BBC Nationwide sounds right, too; I'll bet the Beeb wiped the tape and reused it to save money, like they did with so many classic programmes, Dr Who being just one example.

Did anyone go to RIAT this weekend?
