If a blown configuration was selected, the tailplane flap would also be blown. The pilot would need to check all 3 blow gauges; the mainplane blow gauges were reasonably well sited, but the tailplane blow gauges was down by the pilot's left elbow. Not much fun at night after a formation VRIAB!

Ergonomics and the Buccaneer cockpit weren't exactly bedfellows!
