I was thinking of a silly theme build request basically revolving around either
1: Fitting planes that have guns with a whole lot more firepower (either bigger guns, or more guns overall)
2: Fitting planes that didn't have guns with guns
This idea crops up now and again, and is always good for some innocent amusement and launchng the wildest flights of fancy amongst the whiff population. I'll open the batting with a couple of totally off the wall suggestions:-
1) A Shackleton GA6 with a pair of 40mm Bofors in the nose, and a plethora of 20mm cannon firing downwards and backwards in a sort of inverted "schrage musik" layout. Given the legendary endurance of the beast (and you can even fit 4 Nomads and a pair of uprated Vipers if you wish) a small gaggle of these circling on cab-rank principles might cause a degree of inconvenience to the opposition in the "colonial" conflicts 1950s and 1960s.
2) An air defence version of the Vulcan, with stacks of air to air missiles, a big intercept radar in the nose and abattery of Aden or Mauser cannon. The Vulcan F3B would be an interesting high altitude BARCAP offering.
As I recall,we have previously discussed a Beverley with an inordinately huge naval gun sticking out of the nose , did we ever develop this into the Attack Argosy............
Go on then, let your imagination out of its cage!!
