  1.  @edsutherland8266  It's a pity Australia didn't go for the Avon Mirage III. Particularly since CAC was already license-building the non-afterburning versions of the Avon. The Avon 67 would've been a significant increase in thrust compared to the Atar. As for the Mirage IV's limited range, I'd love to know what sort of range the Mirage IVS would've had. The Spey turbofan isn't as thirsty an engine as the Atar turbojet.

  2. The Mirage IVS (a Spey engined version) was offered by Dassault and BAC after the TSR-2 was cancelled, but Britain opted for the F-111K instead for political reasons. And then cancelled it too.

  3.  @wbertie2604  Britain has botched quite a few aviation projects. Almost always at the hands of Parliament.
