RAAF F-111 Selection

[GTX]

Hi folks,

Recently in searching the National Archives of Australia, I came across the following two very interesting files:

• Selection of a Strike/Reconnaissance Aircraft as replacement for the Canberras of the RAAF
• Report of the Evaluation Team on a strike/ reconnaisance aircraft for the RAAF, Department of Air, August 1963

If you look, both of these have full electronic copies available for viewing. The aircraft considered are the F4C and RF4C, Mirage IVA, RA5C, TSR2, TFX (F111). There is also some correspondence etc related to interim aircraft pending the F-111 arrival. The aircraft discussed are the B-47, V-bombers, F-4C and Blackburn Buccaneer.

EDIT: Folks, I notice the links may not totally work now. All is good though, just click the "National Archives of Australia" link at the top then choose the "Search now – as a guest" Option and then enter the search term "Selection of a Replacement Strike/Reconnaissance Aircraft". The two files you want are those with this symbol:

Enjoy.
