Off work ill, bored, made some Mistels.

Firstly, a radical USAF idea for trying to take out the Fu Kin Huj dam and hydroelectric power station in North Vietnam, given the codename Have Kittens:

A lightly-armed F-4E was mounted atop a B-58A airframe, the fuselage and payload pod being packed with explosives. The Phantom crew navigated the combination into the vicinity of the dam, dived onto it at high speed, separated their fighter and got the hell out of Dodge. In practice the range was highly limited and volunteer crews few and far between. It wasn't long before LGB's were setermined to be a better option.

Next, a similar British proposal to take out a heavily defended Indonesian power plant in Borneo during the Confrontation. The Tanlethr dam had gone online in 1964 and provided power to the Indonesian side of the island and their military bases. The solution proposed by the RAE was given the codename White Knuckles:

Simply a Valiant full of HE, the Hunter FGA.9 would point the weary bomber at the dam and hope for the best. Results were unimpressive at best, with many of the Valiants used in the White Knuckles combination at the end of their fatigue lives they tended to disintegrate during the dive or just get shot down by AAA. With little damage done, the RAE decided to go all-out for a result with their next offering, the appropriately-named Brown Trousers:

Brown Trousers mounted a prototype TSR.2 on top of one of the prototype Avro 730s, three of which had survived the Sandys axe and flew as research aircraft for the supersonic airliner programme. The entire stack would be aimed at the dam while flying at over Mach 1.5, hitting the target at over 1200mph. Two of the airframes were expended before the project was dropped due to inflicting successful damage on the power plant and the pilots developing a very acute sense of self-preservation...

Pitty the "Brown Trousers" image has gone blurry (assuming usual photobucket issue), but it's comical.

Regardless of how cool it could look for some, having jet exhausts positioned in such way that they blow straight on the vertical stabilizers of the planes below is not a viable idea.
