After many threads on the subject of the Fleet Air Arm and its attempts in the late 50s to the early 60s to get new planes and carriers I have come to the conclusion that what was needed was a new build carrier learning the lessons of the successful Hermes and operating a multi role aircraft of the same weight and handling on deck as the Vickers Scimitar.
What would such a plane look like? The best British efforts of the time were the Buccaneer and the Vickers 583 (minus its vstol engines).
Any designers out there care for a bash!
