In a September 20, 2020 article posted on Wavell Room, defense and international affairs analyst Dr. James Bosbotinis examines the United Kingdom’s options for investing in long-range strike capability. One option briefly explored is for the UK to purchase surplus B-1 or B-52 bombers from the United States, but the idea was deemed impractical due to airframe issues and financial costs.

Were there ever actual proposals for the United Kingdom to acquire B-1 or B-52 bombers? If so, which information sources confirm this?
