Thanks to Norman Roberson of the Buccaneer Aircrew Association for a bit more detail of what happened to XV867.

Buccaneer S2B XV867 made an emergency landing at R.A.F. Leeming on 10 September 1993, following a hydraulic failure in the Western Approaches.

Diverted to R.A.F. Leeming, 800 miles away, with tanker support and on landing, the port undercarriage collapsed and the aircraft veered off the main runway.

A decision was made not to repair the aircraft due to the types impending withdrawal. It was operating with 208 Sqn at that time.

A furthur photographic update has been received of what happend to XV867 in the following year. Please follow this link.
