RAF AST are driving me crazy.AST.403, 1977a) short term VSTOL to replace Harrier mk.3b) ground attack to replace Jaguarc) agile fighter that become EFA Typhoon.In 1979a) is spun away into AST.409 > british AV-8B.In 1984c) rebranded AST.414 starts the Typhoon / Rafale saga.So b) is left alone and by 1982 AST.410 gets started to cover it.Then are added to it- RN SHAR FA.2 successor NST 6464- RAF supersonic VSTOL Jaguar successor that is... AST.403 is back !Sounds right ?While AST.409 is a simple and straightforward affair, AST 410 and 414 clashes on budget... Typhoon (414) win, 410 goes nowhere, P.1216 frozen.That's OTL.
