We have rough figures of 150 each for F.177 for RAF and FAA.

Which with an initial German build of 200 makes a reasonable starting figure of 500 airframes.

We can assume if Germany opts in, Denmark, and Norway, possibly Italy follow.

The French might opt for this instead of F8.

A Japanese order and license might thus emerge. As might an Australian order.


A more nuanced view is the German Navy and RN would increasingly push for more flexibility in Attack, while the RAF could divide on the issue of pure interception or multirole.

The naval version is likely the most potential for success. If it can operated safely from modified Colossus and Majestic carriers.


Buccaneer is interesting, but without US approval and clearance for their nuclear weapons. Germany would confine their order to anti-shipping strike.
