Apparently the cockpits are gutted, but I'd have it in a flash. Always been intrigued by the Jav.
There was a proposed "Thin Wing" Javelin in the pipeline with supersonic capability and a humongous Red Dean AAM under each wing. But it was cancelled (surprise surprise).
Methinks though that we should have gone in with the Canadians and built their excellent Avro Arrow under licence. Could have lead to further Anglo-Canuck
co-operation. There were some promising ideas and talent around then on both sides of the Atlantic.
Just a thought.
