New anti-drugs role for F-111
Nail the drug smugglers and get some live practice at the same time.
Could prove a tempting role:

Oh no, don't tell me, the Nimrod can do this too . . . . .

The Nimrod could probably do it more accurately and effectively, after all air-dropping torpedo's is part of what it was designed for.
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Yeah but the Aardvark is designed to sniff things out with its nose.
Edited to add,
Just like the Torrey Canyon - almost

I would be interested how the stingray behaved once it hit that sea.

THS, no post water entry.
Once in the water the FIAM is discarded and the weapon enters a powered dive along the flight path plus/minus a hook angle. All the while its gyros need to erect.
If it got thrown into that sea it might even adopt a hook angle in the vertical plane and leave the water or plunge straight down.
I watched one once that ran upside down. Entertaining.

What an utterly fatuous statement. How could it possibly be more accurate? How could it possibly be more effective?
Naturally, flying a Nimrod down to AU to drop a £££££ torpedo would be much more cost effective than launching a single Pig with 2 x HE (presumably GBU -10).
BTW, WTF are "torpedo's"?
