As said in the tin. I do know why Nimrod was picked for AEW Mk.3 OTL, and how it failed in a rather catastrophic way.
Things like the fuel being used as a heat sink for the radar, as a desperate last ditch effort.
Whatif VC-10s or Super VC-10s airframes (turned into RAF tankers OTL), where used instead ? Was that ever considered ? VC-10 is the closest thing from a 707 / C-135 GB ever built, and we all know it was plenty enough for AWACS.
Sounds like a no-brainer - with absolute perfect hindsight, obviously.
Your thoughts ?
