WI these political requirements weren't mooted? The ones I'm thinking of are the ones which led to the Nimrod & Atlanitc the HS681 VTOL transport and the VTOL supersonic fighters, in the early 60s. While the ASW and transport requirements weren't particularly damaging the VTOL fighter certainly was. Without these attempts at commonality would the HS1154 have been attempted, or would a conventional fighter have been developed and actually built?
