Raf Scooter Loadouts

I didn't know about Bucc's carrying data pods for Martel, but I'd guess that since they were set up for the maritime role, they didn't have the various whizzy bits for the Martel.  As far as I know, no other aircraft carried a datalink, but since I missed it on the Bucc, don't take my word for it!

this datalink pod is available in the 1/72 airfix kit and has also been done in resin,
by a now defunct producer called dangley bits and i think airwaves. the resin ones
are much better.

i agree with evan. a couple of those combined fuel and rocket pods would be good.

Just a thought on stores, how about the combined Matra pods/fuel tanks that the Mirage II and other aircraft used?  Add some external fuel capacity in addition to extra rocket pods.

I'm not sure I know the pods you're talking about, do you know where I can find a picture of a Mirage done up in the way you're refering to?

Well, I know they're part of the Airfix Mirage IIIC kit and ISTR that there's at least one in the Matchbox Jaguar GR.1 kit(s).   The units themselves are Matra JL100s and you should find some info using Google. Four, two each on "T" adapters, could be carried overwing on Saudi and Kuwait AF Lightnings and one was carried under each wing of a Mirage IIIC.
