Re 2 stick Buccs. There was a 2 stick capable one at RAE Farnborough - XV344 called the Nightbird Buccaneer. I think that the rear stick was put so that a safety pilot could pull up in the event of the front seat pilot losing it during night LLTV operations. NVGs then appeared, and I don't think the aircraft was flown on trials with 2 sticks? Certainly it hadn't up to the time I left in Jul 85.
