Exactly. They weren’t. Although probably good enough to produce something usable and better than the extant Canberras.


Yes, although I’m thinking more like the avionics fit that was developed for Tornado IDS, same role, same industry and fitted later when t became available. Laser designator for the UK was even later although if TSR2 with AAR could reach the Falklands to show how useful it’d be in ‘82 it might have a podded one by 1991.


Oh quite, but its about the only thing that could be considered in terms of wanting to change a wing in that era. I’m not really sure what is considered wrong about the actual wing and engines. Its not like it didnt fly ok or have sufficient performance. Perhaps if you want it to be more F15 like in terms of wingloading for maneouvre then a new much bigger wing is wanted, but then its going to have to be a different aircraft entirely.
