You can request but I can't oblige. Out of mental energy.

I could see this written in a book under a Thunderstrike picture : finally the Aussies got enough awaiting for their F-111s.

The TSR.2 was high up on their shopping list for a Canberra replacement but when UK politicians started wavering they understandably took it off their list. The Aussies also considered the Vigilante and possibly the Mirage IV.

I can imagine it bombing Indonesian targets on Eat Timor!

Interesting to know, thank you Spinners. About the A-5 I wondering how much RAAF should had paid with its operational cost, as with the Mirage IV, including that both were not masterpieces about their payload for "classic" warfare.
