One question in order to gather info for my next build; didn't all GR.3s have a transponder bulge under the LRMTS nose during the Falkland War?

 

Not all GR3s.   Only those which had the Corporate fit. 

 

Corporate fit involved the said transponder bulge, together with modified outboard pylons (to allow a Sidewinder fit) and additional security hardpoints on the undercarriage (to stop them rolling off a carrier deck).

Oh, me sees. Thanks, Enzo.

Say, was the Blue Eric ECM package, which was placed instead of the starboard Aden 30mm gun pod, and the chaff dispensers aft of the ventral airbrake, part of the Corporate fit as well?
