The Blackburn Buccaneer was a Royal Navy carrierborne attack aircraft designed in the 1950s, a midwing, twinengine monoplane with a crew of two in a tandem seat arrangement. Designed and initially produced by Blackburn Aircraft at Brough, it was later officially known as the Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer when Blackburn became a part of the Hawker Siddeley group.

The Buccaneer was originally designed in response to the Soviet Union's massive Sverdlovclass cruiser construction program. Instead of building a new fleet of their own, the Buccaneer would attack these ships with relative impunity by approaching at low altitudes below the ship's radar horizon. The Buccaneer would attack using a nuclear bomb or conventional weapons in engagements lasting less than a minute, quickly flying out of range while its weapons struck. It was later intended to carry shortrange antishipping missiles to further enhance its survivability against more modern shipbased antiaircraft weapons.
