During RAF air operations in the 1991 Gulf War, the effectiveness of Iraqi air defences meant that the Tornados and Jaguars had to fly at higher altitudes, which reduced their effectiveness.
They needed the support of the RAF's ageing Blackburn Buccaneer jets with their "Pave Spike" laser targeting system to make effective use of "smart" munitions.
The only problem was that these aircraft had been left behind at the Scottish home base.
The task was to prepare and fly twelve Buccaneers in their newly applied "desert camouflage" and with their laser sights for deployment to the Persian Gulf, and in just a few days the self-styled "Sky Pirates" were on their way.
