Croquetter, only got described in the AEW Shack but remember spending a week or two getting as far as Benbecular but in a Nimrod entering the HUATA before a 180 into the North Sea (best trap ride we did) or doing one patrol in North Sea and a spec OP west of Ireland on the same sortie.
Don't know about the Atl but loved it doing 300+ in the Nignog running down a May. OTOH a Bear could out run a Nimrod.
Back to the OP, good - quiet jets, bad noisy props. Good - economical props - bad thirsty jets.
Provided a noisy prop could avoid running its sound footprint over the target it probably had the edge.
