Lyneham Lad,

Does that fit actually work? I've sort of lost track/ interest in the upgrades as a direct result of Torpy banging on about the system when not much seemed to be happening to the actual capability. My last understanding was that A-G wise the aircraft had a pod and an LGB, but no stand off weapon and a clear air-mass ML only capability...am I wrong?

In that fit, yes, swing role isn't a fib, but if my suspicions are correct it would be better termed an 'AD platform with austere A-G weaponry'.

Before anyone bites, i am sure that it's already a great A-A aircraft and given more time and money it will be ace at A-G...and will probably solve third world debt and cure cancer too.

Just lost interest again...
