Only a partial 'what if' based on the swing-wing research carried out by Vickers during the mid-1950's being passed to NASA's Langley Laboratory earlier than reality (i.e. before 1959) and then a corresponding earlier drafting of SOR-183 and the resultant TFX competition predating McNamara and the distraction of 'commonality' and the Naval F-111B. I'm not sure an earlier TF30 would have done it much good though!

I can see her using an "Americanized" afterburner version of the famous RR Conway, as Allison did with his TF41 from the Spey.

Give me an hour or two and I'll upload it 'as is' (with F-105 Tail Numbers).
