The chief issue is the UK is looking at AST.396 in 1972 and concluding in 1973 that increases in speed or manoeuvrability over the Jaguar and Harrier fleets, are of doubtful value.But what is needed the ability to operate at night and poor visibility.So an argument for any variation of Convair 200 would have to centre around the carriage of radar that can greatly facilitate that. But to win the UK over ideally needs licensing and UK content.Arguably variations of the 200 in CTOL and V/STOL could offer savings in training and support through life compared to separate fleets of Harrier and Jaguar.
