I like this quote in relation to the TSR2

"All modern aircraft have four dimensions: span, length, height and politics. TSR-2 simply got the first three right."
Sir Sydney Camm

Great stuff...the headon shot does it for me.
Who'd have thought a British aircraft could be described as "Sassy"?
Just look at those wingtips
And the "Cab Forward" stance it shared with cousin Vigilante, and maybe Mirage IV.

I was also going to get into the politics but the Wing Commander said it: another nail in the coffin of British industry...*shakes head*

Ehh Marty, you forgot about the Feets, which are among the cutest in the biz!
I can never get this one up to speed in the sim, as I am in spot view, cycling the gear

Makes you wonder whether the TSR-2 would stil be in service if they entered production...I guess there would be no Tornado if the TSR-2 still existed...no doubt they would of been cut from the RAF by now with all the savage cuts to defence going on over there..another fantastic aircaft that never saw service is the Avro CF-105...do you have a model of that Marty?

Dont know much about this aircraft, but it went the same way as the TSR2

The Arrow , a Canadian missile machine along the lines or close in development to the F4 ... no guns and project closed down for the choice - the Voodoo
