Maximum speed of at least Mach 1.7
Minumum weapons load of 5500 kg
Must be capable of carrying anti-radar missiles, short ranged AAMs and of cause conventional bombs

Greetings,

Govenor General Hall, the peoples of the UPI would be more then happy than to design, and produce a strike fighter for your country, based off our fourth generation harrier jump jets. If you wish just to purchase a squadron or two of our harriers which haven't been switched over to Hydrogen fuel Cell technology, then we would be more than happy than to sell them to you for a small price. About 100,000 Pounds per squadron. if you can not afford this, then we'd be more than happy than to let you lease the aircraft untill you have paid for them in full over a set ammount of time. Take your time with this decision.

While your offer sounds interesting we are not entirely sure if an aircraft derived from the Harrier will be much use, in our timeline the Harrier line of aircraft was a short ranged subsonic ground attack VTOL aircraft which hardly meets the requirements for our long ranged strike aircraft.
We also intend to see what if any other offers appear for strike aircraft.

At the time of the Event the Australian aerospace firm R. M. Vincent had 22 Thunderbolt long range strike bombers awaiting delivery to one of Australia's allies. The twin seat Thunderbolt entered service in 1988 and was designed for low level penetration missions over ranges of 2500km with a payload of 12,000kg. The Thunderbolt is in service with 18 aeroforces and naval aero arms on our Earth and the 22 we have available are already paid for.

Due to the fractured nature of this Earth we would have to negotiate a suitable price in some form and any deal would be subject to Australian arms export legistration.

While the B70 meets, indeed exceeds the requirements it sounds like quite an expensive aircraft and the Commonwealth is more in need of a strike aircraft than a strategic bomber, so we must decline your offer.

To: The Dominion of Australia (South America)
The Thunderbolt sounds like quite a good option. Just wondering what exactly would be suitable payment? We could provide a few shipments of assorted metals or even some oil which ever you want.

However we intend to wait a bit longer to see if any other offers arrive before making a final decision.

The United Provinces would be more than willing than to strip one of our escort carriers of her fighters to provide you with one full squadron of British Tornado Fighter/Bomber aircraft. We understand your need for a strategic fighter/bomber, and would like to supply the commonwealth of Australia with these fighters. The stats are as follows:

specification: PANAVIA TORNADO F.Mk 3

country: Britain

type: Interceptor

performance: combat radius 1151 miles; top speed 1453 mph; ceiling 70000 feet

powerplant: two Turbo-Union RB.199 Mk 104 turbofans rated at 9100 lbs thrust dry; 16520 w/ afterburning

armament: one 27mm Mauser cannon and several AAMs (AAM's can be substituted, for all bombs, all AAM's, or half/half)

If you wish, we could also throw in a few hundred barrels of oil from our northern regions near the fmr. chinese border, which has been completely switched over to hyrdrgen fuel cells.

Sorry but the offer of some clapped out old Tornados isn't exactly acceptable, the Commonwealth already has its own CAC-25 Thylacine fighter (think of it as more or less a delta winged F-15) to fill the air supiriority role.

Ah... we apologize for laying such a poor fighter design on the table. And furthermore, we do know that the commonwealth is pretty well self sufficiant with oil, I just figured it'd help the deal out a little! But, the UPI does have one more design, we have had the designs for the F-14, and the F-18 in our databanks since our purchase of the plans in early 2001 from the United States. The UPI would be willing to freely give you these plans, but, i do warn you, these fighters are a bit.... how do I put this... tricky to handle. Plus, we would give you the technology to strip out the combustion engines, and replace them with Hydrogen Fuel Cells, to cut back on your fuel useage. Thanks for your time.

It is not a poor design, it simply duplicates a role that is already filled and is not in need of a replacement. As for the F-14, and FA-18, assuming they bear any resemblance to the US aircraft of the same name in our world the CAC-25 has in exercises proven itself to be equal or supirior to the aircraft in question.

We participated in the design phase of the fighter, but never saw fruition from the fighter, that is, before we left. The fighter can be modified to go as fast as you need, the vertical take off factor can be eliminated, and the ammount of munitions that it can handle are easily worked around, and modified. Now, mind you, this design isn't finished yet, but, we would be more than happy than to complete these designs, and let you evaluate the design. Thanks for your time.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your order. We can have all 22 Thunderbolts ready for transit (either by ship or ferry flight) within in two weeks from today.

It should be noted that the twin seat Osprey can be configured as a conversion trainer simply by loading the appropriate software package.

On the matter of payment and weaponry. On our Earth the cost of all 38 aircraft would be in the region of 330,000,000 Aurei, which in the Commonwealth of Australia's currency may be equivilent to the price of a loaf of bread. We would suggest an exchange deal of various strategic metals for the aircraft.

Equally the difference of weights and measures on our respective Earths could make weapons integration problematic. However there are several different measurement systems in use on our world and Australia as with most countries factors in a certain amount of flexibility in it's weapon systems to allow the use of non Australian equipment so this is not an insurmountable problem.

ooc; As long as it's just Practice, the Admiral will be happy to play Red/ Blue. Remenber while my planes have a top speed of 675 mph [the p-51 topped at 575] they are Radar Sleathly due to their skins, and Heat invisible. They are also as manuverable as a Circus acrobat plane. and the Carriers carries 400 of them.


The Carrier is just a very fast Well armed Freighter. There to Pick up the Planes and plans.

from Imperial Mexico
to The Commonwealth of Australia.

Our Aircraft Carrier will arrive shortly, to Pick up The Aircraft discussed. It will be bring the Gold Bullion for Payment.
Due to your offer of the loan of a cargo Zepplin we see no need to cahrge you anything for the TSR2s, we initally plan on handing over three for evaluation purposes. But once the commonwealth has the Thunderbolts properly intergrated into our force you will be able to take the rest of the TSR2s.
