The Spey Phantom suffered a huge cost blowout, a not insignificant time delay and a degradation in high end performance. It's hardly a panacea.The C130 worked out well, but more Belfasts and buying into the C160 Transall project would have worked just as well operationally and probably politically and industrially they would have been better for Britian.l.The F111K was cancelled after massive cost and time blowouts, so I can't see going US was a solution to Britain's problems. Indeed the looming cost blowouts of these US aircraft, coupled with the devaluation was a key driver of the British withdrawing from EoS.
