Just to follow up on your question about the weapon system, the Rad Alt and the electrics thereof. I don't think there was any correlation, but a systems man would know better than this mere QWI! I suspect not, though. Unlike the Rad Alt system in the Tornado (which I also flew) I don't ever remember the Buccaneer Rad Alt being linked to a weapons delivery mode, hence the requirement to correlate it with the 2 pressure altimeters, front and back seat, to give an accurate pressure height over the target.
