how about American engineers building a Fantan with a radar to see whether it would be any good ; say would it better than an Fishbed ?

F4's and F14's from Iran, F5's from Vietnam, Hunters from Jordan or India.
I do recall reading somewhere about Soviets evaluating F-5s from VietNam. They claim to have found the F-5 "efficient but not of interest."

Now hows about a:

V-Bomber or (in whiffland) TSR.2 getting lost and finding itself trapped in the Russian half of the Kola peninsula.  :blink:  Imagine a Vulcan sitting around covered in moss and bird doo-doo in Monino.

Luftwaffe Tornado gets lost and lands in East Germany, then gets repatriated during reunification.

B-52 splash-lands nice and gentle in very shallow water off the N. Vietnamese coast. Gets salvaged right before sinking.

There are blurry, black and white photos of an F-14 in Soviet markings, though nowadays that's easy to fake using Photoship.

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

For DACM, the US had a few TSR.2's to dash about with the American F-12's right?
