Like G-AXLR.  ;D

Quote from: jcf on November 23, 2023, 12:03:52 PMVery nice. :thumbsup:

Of course every time I see your topic name my mind goes to an Audi Quattro Turbo with a big rear wing supported by Buccaneer vertical fins.
;D

:cheers:  to be honest I'm surprised it took this long for the Audi to come up  ;D  I just like the name rather than 4 engined Bucc, interestingly enough (or not ;D ) Quattro should also be Cuatro  ;D  I might do a photoshop remix with the Audi & the Buccaneer  ;D  :thumbsup:

That does look remarkably possible.  :thumbsup:

It looks like it should exist..or would have existed .
Bloody good job old bean 👏 😁😁
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Outstanding!!
Needs a couple of tanks for all the gas needed to feed those four engines.

It's a real "double take" whiff.
Put it on the table at a show and watch people get whiplash.

All sorts of similar whiffs come to mind as a result, a Quatro CF-100 for a start (CF-200?)

How about a DH Comet with six engines (or eight....) or a Tu-32?  ;D

I was going to say a Tu-208 but Tupolev already did that with the Tu-110.

Quite right, although at the moment it's relying on a friendly neighbourhood Victor for refuelling (every five minutes ;D )

CF-200 would look very good  :thumbsup:  ( just looked it up  ;D ) & definitely a Comet  :thumbsup:

How about an eight engined Nimrod  :o  ;D  :thumbsup:  (an expensive build  :o )

Although I'm not a native English speaker I guess this should be pronounced as Buccaneer cutey? Right?

Is this why the normal Buccaneer's carried buddy refuelling packs as well as how Audi came up with the idea of Quatro drive?
