Black Buck, Victor and Martel ARM...
Afternoon Gents,
while reading Vulcan 607 again, i noticed a piece about the frantic efforts to marry the Martel ARM to Victor tankers in the very early days of the war, and that subsequently the SEAD role had been undertaken by Vulcans armed with Shrike ARM's - that absolutely weren't from the US, oh no siree... - and i wondered how far the Martel/Victor project had got, and why (if) it foundered?
i remember the Nimrod/Sidewinder capability, but were there any other bizaare (ingenious) ideas for progressing the war that either never saw the light of day, or did, and never got the regognition they deserved?
cheers.
