The F-111 was the second choice of the RAF/RAAF. The better plane was the BAC TSR-2, but it got the Avro Arrow treatment.

The "Rooskis" have two of their own.

The F-111 was the second choice of the RAF/RAAF. The better plane was the BAC TSR-2, but it got the Avro Arrow treatment.

The TSR would have had a TF radar as well. Much of the work that went into the TSR was eventually used on the MRCA (multi role combat aircraft) now known as the GR-4 Tornado. The GR-1 Tornado is an interceptor variant of the same basic aircraft. Probably different from the GR-4 about as much as the F-111B varied from the F-111A . Because of the different radome shape, they look a lot more different than they really are.
