Buccaneer

     Notes: This was one the first British jet carrier aircraft.  When Britain went to the smaller carriers with Harriers, the Buccaneers were relegated to land bases, usually as anti-ship planes, and then were eventually phased out.  They were also operated by South Africa, usually in the long-range strike role, but were also phased out by that country.  The Buccaneer has an internal bomb bay, unusual for an aircraft of its size; this bay can hold 1.81 tons or 2040 liters of fuel.  The aircraft has ejection seats and is capable of in-flight refueling.

     Twilight 2000 v1 Notes: Buccaneers became a primary long-range attack platform, as numbers of Tornados were lower than expected in the RAF due to the withdrawal of Italy from NATO and the need to replace German Tornado losses early in the Twilight War.

     Twilight 2000 v2.2 Notes: Buccaneers were also used against land targets in the Twilight War, though by that war they were largely replaced by Tornadoes and were operated only in a secondary role or to replace Tornado losses.  South Africa also used some of these aircraft in the Twilight War.

     Twilight 2013 Notes: Buccaneers were out of service by 2013, though the British scraped up six for duty in the Twilight War, and South Africa managed to put two in the air for duty.

     Twilight 2035 Notes: Buccaneers were for the most part museum pieces or rusted, picked-over hulks by 2035, though the RAF managed to scare up enough intact airframes and parts and avionics to put one in the air in 2036.  (This Buccaneer, however, was shot down within weeks after beginning to conduct missions.)

Bulldog/Beagle Pup

    Notes: This is a light primary trainer and liaison aircraft that is used as a counter-insurgency aircraft by many smaller air forces.  There is also a civilian version without hardpoints called the Beagle Pup; these aircraft have a third seat behind the pilots' seats that can hold one adult or two children.

     Twilight 2000 v1/v2/2,2/2013/2035/Merc 2000: This aircraft found military employment as a liaison and aerial FALO aircraft; others were used by some lucky civilians to escape war zones

Hunter

     Notes: This jet is a mid-1960s relic that is still in wide use by Lebanon, though recently they have been looking at ex-US F-16Cs and Ds to replace them. Its low-power engine does not lend itself to speed, maneuverability, or lifting power, and its lack of an afterburner does not give it good acceleration.  However, it is a decent ground attack aircraft, and its four 30mm cannons pack quite a punch.  The Hunter has the rare ability to fire only half its cannons at a time, if desired, usually done to save ammunition when attacking soft targets or to load different guns with different types of ammunition.  Though the aircraft has a lot of hardpoints, eight of these may only be used for rocket pods or single rockets, with a load limit of 100 kg per hardpoint; if these hardpoints are used, the two center wing hardpoints may not be used.  If the two center hardpoints are used, the eight rocket hardpoints may not be used.

     Twilight 2000 v1/v2/v2,2: The Hunter’s primary playground during the Twilight War was the Middle East; they were taken out of storage by several Middle Eastern countries during that war to replace aircraft losses

     Twilight 2013: Most Arab Air Forces have replaced their Hunters with newer aircraft, and the remaining hunters sit idle, awaiting their call…

     Twilight 2035: Hunters are found in museums or bombing ranges, long having been replaced by up-to-date aircraft,

     Merc 2000: Another non-descript aircraft used by mercs,

BAC Strikemaster

     Notes: This light strike aircraft was developed from a jet trainer known as the Jet Provost.  It is an unsophisticated aircraft for basic ground support missions, and is easy to maintain and inexpensive to operate.  The aircraft has ejection seats, but is not capable of in-flight refueling.

     Twilight v1 Notes: Generally used as a Sandy by NATO air forces, they were also adapted to operate from carriers, and often found themselves operating from US carriers.

     Twilight v2/v2.2: Generally the same story, but much of their roles were taken over by Jaguar strike aircraft.

     Twilight 2013: The Strikemaster was long since retired, though small amounts made a reappearance late in the war to replace aircraft losses,

     Twilight 2035: The Strikemaster was very long ago retired, and could be found only in museums and in civilian hands,
