Camouflaged Concorde in 74 Sqn markings for TC then!

No, it has to be a Bomber in 111 Squadron marks.
Same with mine. Bomber and strategic recon.

Wouldn't it be a trifle fast for a tanker?

Even I wouldn`t put a Tigers head on a Concorde.

Wouldn`t do 111 sqn either though as that`s an historical fighter sqn as well.

IIRC, the speculation of the day about the use of Concorde in time of war against the Warsaw Pact was as a high speed nuke delivery system.

This means in reality terms of whiffing a Concorde, it would of probably kept the BA scheme but just had a couple of nukes strapped on below.

This would be boring. Re 111, I'm confusing myself as I meant 617 Squadron. Oh sod it I'll bugger off and leave it to the experts.

I think strapping anything to the outside of Concorde would limit it's performance, making it no better than anything else we had.
My idea is to make it a British Valkyrie, with extra internal fuel and internal bomb bays, using rotating doors ala Buccaneer, so the it doesn't have to slow down to deliver it's payload.

You could extend the range by bunging a couple or four Mirage supersonic tanks underneath, also wondering if a Valiant bomb bay would fit.

Obviously if you looking to make this an whif RAF jet from the out start, then you completely correct mate.

My comments were solely based on the `real world` plans to use Concorde in time of war.
Bolting a couple of nukes to the underside probably would of been the only thing they could do given the time constraints.
