Yeah, cool, Nick ! I like the look of the Super Spit...really neat. Funny how the A-36 looks just like the F-102 from atop, as the last one looks just like the Hawk !

Cool....

In the late 1950's and early 1960's, Sweden planned to develop their own nuclear deterrent, funded by the military and built by the civilian Atomic Energy Agency.

To deliver the bombs they planned a bomber, similar to the Saro SR.177 or the Hawker P.1121. This was later cancelled.
