British experience in WW2 with the Mosquito fed into the postwar Canberra.

The Canberra received the French AS30 in the early 60s as it's missile armament.

The Buccaneer with Martel was a logical next step.

Without a Red Beard/WE177 bomb to deliver TSR2 would also have had to be designed round precision guided weapons.

Unlike SAC the RAF had not been engaged in bombing Japan so it would not have gone down the heavy bomber route.
