Sud Aviation (SNCASO) Vautour

[Weaver]

The French DID have some Canberras IIRC.

But maybe only ones for trials.

Four B.6s and two B(I)6s ordered in 1954 and used for trials work. The first three aircraft were diverted from RAF orders: F763 (ex-WJ763), F779 (ex-RAF WJ779) and F784 (ex-RAF WJ784). The remainder were new-build airframes: F304, F316 and F318.

The low-winged one looks like an Me 262 derivative.

I like the three-engined ones as well. Of course, another very 1950s thing you could do with the Vautour is put a rocket motor in the tail cone for extra climb rate and altitude performance.

Has anyone tried to do artwork the SO.4060 Super Vautour?
We all want to see the heavy fighter & night fighter models in action hunting TU-95s & TU-22Ms.

Handsome aeroplane.! . I'm thinking a kit bash between a Mirage IV and, Mirage III or V (two seater) with new wings/tail might work here! Be a lot bigger than the original design but, what the hell!!
