From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
Basic Buccaneer attack was the 'Medium Toss'. At around 3 mi from the target, having 'accepted' the attack, the strike sight symbology showed a 'dot' which you pitched to keep centred. When half a dozen servos in the analogue computer decided the moment was right, off came the bomb. Then 110° of bank and down to a reciprocal escape heading.

Accurate to within about 100ft at Wainfleet!

Apologies for any errors, it was 45 years ago and I wasn't good enough to pass the very demanding OCU course.
