wasn't the real reason that XA903 was fitted with the underslung Olympus 593 to provide space in the potentially empty engine nacelles for FOUR guns: two forward facing and two rearward?
Would have made a good night intruder.
All that stuff about it being for "Concorde trials" was just distraction to hide the truth

PS - wasn't XA903 used in "Thunderball"???
