  1. The aircraft was good but its systems were only maybe 4 or 5 years ahead of its competitors. The F1-11 did its role just as well.

  2.  @sandervanderkammen9230  It was a stable high speed low level platform but as somebody mentioned on here not the diamond people think of it now. The nostalgia and mourning for the British fighter industry has taken primacy.

  6. Yeah the History Guy is pretty cool.

  7. We like to romanticise the past, the TSR2 was good but giving it God like status is ridiculous English exceptionalism. It was no more advanced than the F1-11.

  8. I’m sure this very rotorcraft is featured in a Japanese anime feature called Zipang. It was the embarked aircraft on a JMSDF Aegis Destroyer.

  9. Nice aircraft but I don’t buy the narrative of way ahead of its time at all, that’s just nationalistic teary eyed BS.

  10.  @icollectstories5702  why have swing wings when you can have a delta.

  11.  @icollectstories5702  Well yes that is the down side, vastly more weight plus maint` of the pivot. I think the A4 proved delta config was a good fit for carrier borne light fighters.

  21.  @ronaldschoolcraft8654  some aircraft landing gear brakes used C-C material long before that. Is that where you got the idea of using C-C? It’s very expensive.

  22.  @ronaldschoolcraft8654  and rocket engine bells for decades. I hope you got at least a piece of the Collier Trophy to put above your hearth. It’s nice to be free to talk about what one has achieved in one’s career. Bravo sir.

  23. This aircraft was at the time a massive POS.

  24. It was more expensive overall.

  25. No, the US had ICBMs way before the XB-70 which was cancelled because advanced Russian SAMs made it obsolete.

  26. The F 1-11 was better too.

  27.  @enrlichhartman  NASA X planes proved all of that long before Berkut.

  28. Low level low yield Nuke delivery was actually a tactic but crews still won’t talk about how in case we ever have to arm ourselves with free fall tac nukes again. I’d imagine it was low level run in with a lofted release.

  29. Except the tactical free fall bomb role never went to the RN. The RAF retained that until the early 1990s.

  30.  @timgosling6189  Not too bad lobbing them but a weapon parachute failure would have gotten the heart racing a bit!
