Given that the UK is not able to develop its own 2 Sidewinder 4 Sparrow and associated radar in time to enter service by 1970 the best we can do is four Red Tops on a Sea Vixen and Javelin replacement.

The only aircraft that might materialise in this space is the VG Lightning.

Russia did manage to get good use out of its VG Su11 developments.


Lightning FRS1 would not be a true F4 alternative but it would allow the Hermes and Eagle to survive into the 70s.
