Here's a little something that never was, BACs proposed Sea Lightning FAW.1. (A punchy little number it would have been too!) The proposal was to produce this variable geometry wing variant to permit carrier landings. It was to have more powerful engines which drank less fuel (always an issue for the lightning) and would carry a greater missile load. I have taken a few liberties here as there's not much to go on plan wise. It was supposed to have two crew, a solid nose to house more enhanced radar and air intakes back from the nose. However someone (quite rightly) thought requiring an eternity of maintenance on dry land let alone at sea, and constantly looking at your fuel gauge whilst navigating the vast oceans were not good prerequisites for naval aviation and it never left the drawing board.....until now!AG1 and VTOL down sweeps wings back, neutral for landing/slow speed manoeuvres under the 300 mark. If you intend to land in one piece it's highly recommended you neutral the wings as the gear is attached to the movable section. AG2 for afterburners (good for nought to soiling yourself in no time at all!) remember to throttle back fully and deselect to return to normal cruising. AG3 for lights, AG4 drops tanks and AG5 for arrestor hook.
