Coff, The SR 177 would have most likely been up there with the Lightning in the ultimate 'Hooligan' machine stakes, though would have suffered from the exact same limitations of weapon system and armament (AI-23 AIRPASS and 2x Red Top). Though it most likely would have been a bit better in endurance than the Lightning. HTP rocket oxidiser would have most likely made life on the flight line more than a tad more hazardous and may have caused issues with deploying away from base. The Vulcan/Victor 'Blue Steel' boys may be able to answer the 'deployment' one as they were the only people in the RAF to operate a bit of kit that used the stuff operationally.
