Between 1920 and the VC10 coming into service the Bristol 138, although it was only a research aircraft. The other number only types were in service before 1920 or joined after the VC10 did. Of course when TSR2 (was that destined for an official name), the RAF was told to buy the F111. The 1965 RAF year book actually asked "What will we call it"?Seahornet1 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 3:39 pmI'd be interested if anyone can think of a type introduced into full RAF service (say, post 1920) before the VC-10, without having or being given a 'verbal' (as opposed to alphanumeric) name.![]()
