Which has been known to work against them, even in a Tornado GR1.

Remember how one of those Buccs came back after hitting a power line
from  below and the next day sported a new radome and a power line kill
marking. Apparently the F15 drivers were expecting a turkey shoot
against the Bucc, but in fact found them a very difficult opponent.

Just read the Phoenix Squadron book about the Buccs off Ark Royal who
went to discourage the Guatemalans from invading British Honduras in
1972, fascinating read!
