Prune Pop - it was reportedly 5 for 1 Buccaneers which that fool Mountbottom (probably the worst CDS of the era) used to pull out of his pusser's grip when back-stabbing TSR2...... The concept of paying for 5 times as many crews didn't cross his blinkered naval mind, it seems.

I'm told that TSR2 was a bit of a pig to fly at low speed (as was the Buccaneer) - but outstanding at high speed.
