Buccaneer wing was also blown along the mainplane towards the leading edge..
Only when the appropriate 'blown' configuration was selected with aileron droop - it certainly wasn't blown all the time.
Regarding the 'stick for speed' debate for real aeroplanes (not those ugly clattering things), I was originally taught to fly the Hunter at Valley and Brawdy using 'point and power'. However, at Honington we were required to fly the T7A / T8B Hunter (for Buccaneer training) using 'stick for speed' - which was totally alien to me after all my JP/Gnat/Hunter training. Control column selected attitude and AOA (-ish), with thrust controlling glide path descent rate. But you still had to make sure that your 'fixed reference' on the runway was correct. When the mirror aided dummy deck landing device was on, it was dead easy to control the glidepath accurately keeping the light in line with the greens using thrust (with the control column for AOA), but without such a 'glidepathometer', 'point and power' is a much more intuitive technique.
