The Buccaneer's Deck Takeoff Button - Seeking Details

Hi
I'm looking for technical details of the Buccaneer's Deck Takeoff Button.

I know it was a button which allowed an automatic retraction of the Landing Gear as soon as weight was off wheels, primarily intended for helping the underpowered S1 to operate from small aircraft carriers but I'm seeking a bit more;- what AP is it described in, anyone know the system switch logic, was it wired up in latter service because it had proven unsafe, how was the system deselected in the event of an aborted takeoff?

There are pictures which seem to show it's use on RAF aircraft;- official use?

Anyone know if other aircraft used a similar system?

Any Information will be really appreciated.
