No mate - the HUD installation was much the same, but the airflow behind the a/c was smoother. Plus there was no other option, so pitching up on the wing of a Vulcan meant that you'd always find a centreline hose, rather than having to ask for a hose swap on the Victor if it had the Mk 20s hoses extended.

Have seen the films of clearing GAF Tornados against the KC-135 MPRS. Very exciting - but better than the BDA for sure. Only had to prod that once - that was on a live scramble in a Q-fit F4 with 3 tanks and 8 rockets and without having had the benefit of any instruction, either dual or theoretical.....
