A Buccaneer at low level (below about 3000ft) was a delight to control. At 550kts you could look for a gap in unidentified traffic some 10 miles ahead and aim the aircraft for it, knowing you would pass through easily.
When our Bucc S2 arrived, the crews did a large amount of IFR flying on airways to familiarise the navs with it; the airways controllers kept complaining it was too fast because it flew faster than 'standard' airliners (apart from the Trident) and they had to keep vectoring it in order to overtake other traffic at the same level.
