Keith,

I'll accept "none" as a valid answer! The story idea assumes that the
US rebellion failed in 1776, only to flare up again two centuries
later. If the RAF or c-wealth air forces were ill-equipped to fight
that kind of war, so much the better from a storywriting perspective.

Thanks,
- Martin

I'm toying with a few alt history ideas regarding the late 1960s and
early 1970s...specifically UK and Commonwealth involvement in a
massive anti-guerilla/counterinsurgency campaign in North America.


Agaunst whom ?

Are you postulating a Free Newfoundland rebellion

Given that, if the TSR.2 and the Avro Arrow had been built and entered
series production, what kind of role might they play in such a
campaign?


None


Both were designed with the Big, Bad Sovs in mind, either
rolling across the Fulda Gap or lumbering over the Arctic. But like
the F-105 or F-111, could these aircraft that almost were have found a
new role during times of less-than-conventional crisis? Any insight
or opinion would be welcome.


Take a look at Northern Ireland, I dont recall much
call for air strikes there.
