I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

TG, often thought that too. The Canberra was, in a way, like that with many marks and the PR9 being quite different from the original.

An updated Buccaneer would have been better than a GR1 in range and payload but not politically acceptable. The Vulcan with updated kit etc would have made a good ALCM carrier etc etc.

The Arrow also has a passing resemblance to the TSR2 and could have been a Lightning or thin wing Javelin. Shame we never considered joint UK-CA cooperation.
