Buccaneer Performance

No, sadly not a display!

Recall overhearing many moons ago that it was impossible to loop the Buccaneer, or at least it was advised against. No idea why. Simple aerodynamics?

Any ex Bucc guys out there ever tried it/thought better of it/survived?

Also ISTR that amongst the officially published stats, the aircraft ceiling was never publicly revealed. Like it wasnt really anything to brag about.

Any idea how high anyone ever got in one and what was a comfortable cruise altitude? Small blown wing and all that. Dont suppose its a design which encouraged experiments in zoom climbing.

Just always wondered about that.
