Great post Beags. You and other ex-Bucc pilots may be interested in a book called " From Spitfire to Eurofighter". It is the autobiography of Roy Boot (the father of a mate of mine). He was a senior designer at BAe Brough, and devotes 2-3 chapters to the design and development of the Bucc. A bit turgid in terms of literary style, but particularly interesting are the tales of variants that never made it (including the P150). There are some photos of 237 playing with their toys.

ISBN 1-85310-093-5, published by Airlife in 1990.

I wish I had had a back seat ride in one of the beasts......
