[QUOTE="uk 75, post: 35289, member: 234"] Something I knocked up on the What-if site, which might be a fun subject for some artwork or computer graphics: Farnborough 1974 Raymond Baxter (who else) commentating for the BBC " The high point of this year's Farnborough is the Royal Air Force's demonstration of its mobile forces. Here come the TSR2s of 617 and 45 squadron in their new distinctive all over green and grey camouflage with wartime style red and blue markings. The lead aircraft makes a low level pass over the airfield while others simulate strikes on the hangars and buildings. As the TSR2s race back to their airfields at Coningsby and Honington, the first of the ground attack Harrier 1154s has appeared over the trees, joined by its stablemates from 1 Squadron at Wittering. 8 aircraft in all strafe the airfield with rockets and cannon (simulated of course!). Now the lead aircraft comes in for a vertical landing, followed by its squadronmates. The roar in the distance comes from the HS681 Aldershot transports stationed RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire. One after another they come in for a short landing and reverse to unload their load of Scorpion light tanks and infantry from 3 Division, the UK Strategic Reserve. To show that the Royal Navy are part of Britain's mobile Fire Brigade a pair of BAC Cutlass fighters, just joining the Fleet Air Arm, are flying top cover. Well, that is the shape of our air power. As Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas Home told the UN last month, Britain stands ready to defends its friends and interests in a troubled world. UK 75 [/QUOTE]
