What-if RAF aircraft update?

[McColm]

Although the Dassault Br.1150 Atlantic was turned down three times by the MOD, an AEW & C version with spinning rotor dome (E-2C Hawkeye) or a stretched version.
This was on my to do list. The stretch does work, if you use two Revell kits. You get a massive forwards weapons bay and a larger sonobuoy storage at the rear. I did dry test the wings off an C-130 kit and would have added the engines from the Airbus A400M Atlas/Grizzly Bear with the original landing gear.
The wings from the Airfix BAe Nimrod also work with the Atlantic (as used on the Mach2 kit with Revell spare parts in the cockpit and glazing).

Would have liked to have seen the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter in service. Either as the KC-141B or EC-141 AEW& C with a spin top or phased aray radar fitted to the upper fuselage. Could have been used for long range SAR or MR with underwing weapons pylons.

The Bronco OV-10 used with the British Army or Royal Marines.

BAe Nimrod in service with the Royal Navy- fleet patrol or as a bomber with a deeper weapons bay.
Mil Mi-10 helicopter, the largest helicopter ever flown. I'm sure we could have fixed most of the problems, or come up with a few redesigns.

NH-90 helicopter to replace the Puma. Sort of EH-101 little brother.
