Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Lightning F6 with guns - lessons learned by now (or not)?
Standard F.6 configuration: Large ventral with 2 x Aden + 2 x Red Tops.
If this discussion is open-ended and doesn't just include jets, I would have to go with the Martin-Baker M.B.5

Concorde - It was briefly offered as a strategic reconnaissance platform. A squadron would have doubled the production run.
A320 RMPA - What an opportunity missed.
Saunders Roe Princess RMPA - Sub hunting with proper style. The Squadron Motto could be “Facre Adipiscing”

A squadron of U-2's in the early '60's - 70 years of life.
4 squadrons of B-52's - that 's the strike force sorted for 100 years..........

One we did have...but?
I was on a Canberra PR sqn in Germany early 60s. Low level all the way in and out the target because of Russian radars. Projected life two sorties?? A longer serving buddy reckoned that Mosquitos would have done the same job and lasted a lot longer. Would someone like to comment on this? Radar signature of a wooden aeroplane with two propellor engines? Anyway the idea was pooh-poohed at the time as too old fashioned.
