Blackburn (BAE) Buccaneer

Corsair influence   .



BTW, same scale.

Love the stealth design however I wish it had a conventional tail plane with twin canted vertical tails
rather than the t-tail arrangement & a 30mm cannon for taking out tanks.

When the Buccaneer was being designed was there any thoughts of having side-by-side seating as the British aircraft industry seemed to prefer that.

The Corsair tail looks good on both aircraft.

I don't think so, the FAA tended to shy away from side-by side once they'd got rid of the Sea Venoms and Sea Vixens. Mind you, the Sea Vixen was almost one ABOVE the other!

All the run up designs I've seen for the Buccaneer were tandem.  However, Armstrong Whitworth had a side-by-side design that came second in the competition.

The navigators coal hole always amazes me everytime I see a Sea Vixen. When I explained what it was to my mates at Tangmere in the autumn they were astonished

The design is amazing although I would recommend either a v-tail or a h-tail for this design
in my extremely controversial opinion.
