    The new book on the Tu-144 shows lots of variants. The USAF had a proposal in the early '80s for a long range interceptor version of the B-1 with Phoenix missiles in the weapons bays on the launcher. There's another What If site, related to IPMS UK, IIRC, sorry don't have the link handy, but there are some photos from some model shows from the last year or two & there are some Concorde missile carrier photos. Don't know what scale they are as I think it was before the Airfix/Heller 1/72 kit was out.

ah that will be my other little web based abode. And the models in question were built by a guy called Paddy Mcgannon from IPMS Birkenhead. photos taken at the 2003 or 2004 nationals i think.

To get there, just follow the link at the bottom of the post in my sig.

QuoteIf you have a scan of that... Do you know something about this bomber project?
I've got the magazine... somewhere. Wouldn't even know where to begin looking frankly, but it was a small picture anyway which probably wouldn't scan very well. And I don't think it was a project, just a flight of fantasy on the part of those who put the magazine together.

Here's an idea I had for a Concorde Scale-O-Rama fighter, turning the old Airfix 1/144th job into 1/72nd:

So my bombord in now well on the way. The cockpit is finished : I changed the nose (I made it with a drop tank from a Mirage IV) there 's canards behind the cockpit. I made a big bomb bay  in the middle of the fuselage, between the undercarriage and cockpit...
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Surely the word 'Discorde' translates between English and French better?
To win without fighting, that is the mastry of war.

We've been calling them Bombcorde around here for years. Bombord just kinda sounds funny, without the 'c'.

Great idea, tho !

Bombcord is nice, too... I remind me  the F-14D bombcat...

Here

Some stuff we'e discussed on here several times, some stuff I'd never seen (Concorde 002 has structural allownaces for Blue Steel!?).
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

I'll willingly accept to be proved wrong but this is completely bull....  

another thread by the same folks appears here too...

http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthrea...?t=52969&page=2

as far as i can acertain the only possible interest the RAF (and Armee de'l Air) had in the joint Anglo French Concorde was as a high speed SST. as it was originaly designed

Id so love to see any actual paperwork or indeed even actual drawings to the contrary (as opposed to artists impressions to fulfil a speculative article!) im sure such proposals however tenative would have surfaced before now ?

cheers, Joe  :ph34r:

As someone on their posted (with a Harrier serial number, mmm, wonder who that is?) the only practical use would be as a SST VIP transport.

High speed recce aircraft? With an IR signature bigger than the sun and an RCS the size of a small city? And at the time of withdrawl, it was something with a long linger time we needed, not flash and she's gone.
It's not an effing  jump jet.

Many years ago the picture below started it of for me, it appeared in the Golden Anniversary issue of the RAF Year Book.  And when Airfix released their 1/72 kit of Concorde I knew what I was going to built it as.  This has been an ongoing thing now for a few years and recently has taken the back seat for a while (still packed away after our numerous house moves over the last three years) but while doing a bit of research to it I contacted Phil Butler, originally enquiring about some possible serial numbers for it.  His reply was quite informative ------

This is part of the reply I got from him:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a matter of interest, when I worked on equipment to go on Concorde it was always classed as 'Common Aeronautical Supply' - that is not civilian (CAA or ARB), nor military (AQD), but in the unusual 'CAS' category, meaning it could go immediately to either civilian or military use without further formalities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe Phil has something that might be helpful to you Joe.

My build of the Concorde Mk. B.1 can be seen here:
