Close Formation

Theres you problem Foldie if you'd been an air defender flying a six ship in close would have been a walk in the park!!!
I was privileged to fly a Bucc not that long ago (2007 or 8 ) and I admit it seemed a complex aircraft if not treated with respect- The Tornado had no vices to speak of and was pretty simple to fly- My lasting impression of the Bucc was how uncomfortable it was in the back seat - unless you were a short ar se it can't have been comfy- I stand to be corrected but I think there was a dual control Bucc at Franborough? Used in the Night Bird trials - anyone. Certainainly the last three XW98s at West Freugh were single sticks .
I'd be interested in an honest opinion of Tornado GR1vs Bucc with no BS- I did hear that during the Tornado development Bucc fitted withnGR1 kit performed very well prompting the phrase - Build more Buccs
