Blue note ....
Can someone please explain what is meant by the term 'blue note'. Often used when referring to the Hawker Hunter. I've experienced the 'whistle' of a Vampire flying overhead (he waggled his wings when I waved-unforgettable!) is this the same thing?
I'm also curious about the Buccaneer. I've only ever read glowing reports about this aircraft.
1. Was it really that good?
2. If so, why and why has it been retired?
(Great photo's on the web, low level stuff. Amazing looking aircraft)
