    Fate of the British Harrier if the GD Convair Model 200 enters service?

    Hi everyone, IRL the US and UK jointly embarked on a complete Harrier redesign as the AV-8B as the US had no V/STOL alternative at the moment. But had the US chosen to finish development of the Convair Model 200 instead of the XVF-12A, and had this worked well enough to enter service, there...
