Auto Credit Based on Typhoon03's BAe Systems SST Blizzard

By 2025 the Royal Navy was looking for a Carrier On-board Delivery aircraft to serve the Queen Elizabeth class carriers. Unfortunately the Government hadn't bothered fitting the ships with arrestor wires or catapults so the large planes would have to be able to land alongside the ship. BAe's Blizzard had recently entered service around the world so they were asked to modified twenty Blizzards for COD service. With their high speed and manoeuvrability they could supply the carrier in theatre. They had a rotating cargo bay that could carry either stores or fuel and had a pair of floats on the wing tips.
AG1 switches on the landing lights, AG2 deploys the landing chute and AG3 opens the cargo bay. Cruise at 60% throttle.
