    I suppose fitting it with cameras would have supplemented our Canberra 9s and although not stealthy, flown b*lls out at max altitude, it might have been useful. It has to be remembered, in the 70s we had an air force, why waste resources on trying to make a combat machine out of a business class (quick) bus. Who was going fly it? What other equipment was needed to make it capable: chaff dispensers, flares, missile detector, radar (not the Wx radar it’s fitted with), comms, weapons, paint job, the list would be endless. The sort of war we envisaged back then would have probably overtaken events with Concord and therefore it was/would have been useless.

    I can remember this topic first time round back in the 70s.

    An engineer ( at the time ) told me the Bombcord was looked at but not seriously as the mods would be prohibitive. All would have to be new builds and designed from the outset. If we had gone to war at the time and Concord was impressed into service, it would have only been as a high speed ‘hack’

    Setting someone loose with an angle grinder and a mig welder on this aeroplane was a no go.

    Whilst there are surviving wartime Wellington crew members still around, it should remain as a turreted version in their honour.
