Re: Buccaneer

No all-moving tail But a biiig chage of incidence, on the Buccaneer, but a "whole lotta blow" (IIRC). It also served with the RAF, with its area-ruled fuselage and some pretty high Mach down "among the weeds". Although a capable aircraft, it was pushed by political pressure from an influential admiral and royal relative who used as much of his influence as he could to "kill" TSR2.

OK, thread drift, so back to you ...
