Blackburn Buccaneer, Did it beat the Yanks?
Some of you older Mil pilots may be able to throw light on this, but I remember my uncle telling me about some sort of international contest to see who's Air Force had the best bits, either hardware or pilots, I think in the seventies or therabouts, a Buccaneer took part in one of these contest's and was flying so low over the desert that it was dragging dust and debris behind it, the gunners who were tasked to defend the target, couldn't get a bead on these Buc's because they were too low and fast, the Buc went on to win the contest, did any of you take part in any of these things, but what made the Buc so able to out perform the more up to date heavy fast stuff?
