Introduction

In the Cold War Britain was looking for a new carrier borne aircraft to replace ageing fighters such as the Sea Vixen and Sea Hawk, in real life they decided to buy foreign aircraft from the US (F4 Phantoms) but in my world they designed and built a homegrown aircraft, the Spectre.

Now the FAA needed the aircraft to be multirole as an aircraft carrier has to fullfill multiple roles, so the Spectre was a two seat aircraft to allow for a weapons operator/nav to assist the pilot in weapons delivery. The airframe had multiple hardpoints that could carry single, double or triple ejector racks (funnily enough in the same sort of position and load out as the F4, imagine that...) In this guise it could carry both anti aircraft and anti ground weaponry, again similar to what the US used when in the Vietnam conflict, hence the loadout of Aim 9 sidewinders and 250kg dumb bombs.

Powered by the Rolls Royce Spey engine which was used in real life by the F4K it has a formidable turn of speed and acceleration.

Controls

AG1 = reheat

AG2 arms sidewinders

AG4 = droptanks

AG6 = Arrestor Hook

AG7 = wing fold

Note: Not used AG groups are for different load outs if used, i.e. AG3 would be for centre line drop tank etc.
