Would of been nice to see supersonic version of the Harrier to have come to fruition..
Still think a re-engined Hunter with something like a reheated RB199 in it, cheap off the shelf modern avionics and weapons systems.. Would be a cheap, simple proven fighter and a export sales winner.
As for the VC 10 there was a study I think to put 3 engines per side using the core of the V2500? Myself I always thought it would have made sense to re-engine them with a couple of Trents, after all they tested the RB211 on one side, why not simply duplicate that... Ahh a new version of it would be sweet.
