[USER=3562]@Grey Havoc[/USER], brilliant memory on the Blackburn project numbers, always great to see people link to actual project studies rather than just rely on their own prejudice.


To keep up the theme, we could infer from Archibald's scenario that the radar and missiles proposed under the Future Naval Fighter Systems study of 1960/61 enter development. For whatever reason, the associated aircraft fails and the radar and missile combination is installed in a Buccaneer derivative instead. One can scale back ambition by using radar homing (SARH) Red Top rather than the higher specced big missiles if it suits.
