天滅中共全黨死清光!

An AU Lysander. For anyone who has been following Wesworld, Ireland is part of a League of Nations effort to restore peace to Afghanistan and hunting down Persian Nationalist troops. Here is an Irish Air Corps Lysander in that conflict.

In my scenario,the Tupolev Tu-144 is alive,so here is it in Olympic Airlines colors (AU of course).Now a bit history:The first version,the -A was not succesful,since it had failures and many other problems.The -S was a redesigned version,although still used the the 4 NK-144s.Parts rebuilt was fuel system,cabin noise isolation and the aircondition system (for the latter a completely new compressor system developed).The Tu-144S was equivalent in range with Concord with 1.6 mach speed and had about half range with 2 mach.The Tu-144D (last version built,in mid to late 1980's) had 4 RD-36s which finally was the engine Tu-144 deserved.Total numbers built: 84 for Aeroflot (some where of a cargo variant,known as the Tu-144C in the West) and 5 Tu-144S for Olympic,which entered service in 1981.As only the Concord did have the permission to fly to USA,Olympic (private owned in my scenario) tried to find new destinations in Asia.So,regular routes to Tokyo and Seoul started in 1982 via Delhi for refuelling,later added Bangkok (with link to Royal Thai for Pouket,which is a popular destination for vacation outside the Kingdom among others) and Kuala Lumbur.In 1990's Olympic Airlines funded a development of the NK-144,by Aerotech and OKB Kuznetsov to increase the dry thrust of the engine.The program ended in 1999,giving Tu-144S range almost 6000km with 2 mach and about 8000km with economical speed.This allowed the Tu-144SM to travel in destinations in Australia (Darwin,Perth).The retrofit of the RD-36 in Tu-144S was not possible,not only because of the price of the engine but the siginifant differences of the two variants.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union about half of the fleet passed to succesor ailines,but sadly many destroyed in accidents.In HLK,Olympic has 3 Tu-144SM in service (2 more became spares from the beginning) and managed to take several tons of spare parts for -S form Aeroflot in 1994.
