Eyes are ok now, so back to colour soon.....but i think these look quite good (you have seen them before)

The TSR withoutta dout have photo records and course now in my Library the Vulcan so generously given by you Marty , the Lightning ... Ooooh boy , b/w s from test to prototype P1s to W11s

Can't fail with a Vulcan ... or a Lightning ... but that TSR2 is in a class of its own. Great shot ... I see this must have been in your "cloud days"

Come to think of it, that TSR2 deserves to be in "The Splitpin Hall of Fame". If I can get in there before you post "well that'll be a small volume" ... it won't be!

The best of British cold-war aviation! Great shots.

Adamski already said it but really love that TSR!

10 out of 10!

Love'em..... Love'em...... Love'em.......!!!!

Thanks very much guys ....i think your right Connor "The best of British cold-war aviation!" , they were amazing aircraft.......thanks again.

I was surprised to see the RAF musuem in Hendon, London selling nuts and bolts from the scraped TSR2 for 50 pence each when I was there last month!

You would think anything from those aircraft, regardless of how small would be filed away......but i suppose as long as they have good examples of all the bits, then the extra parts can generate some funding. Trolly..Hendon is on my bucket list....

Thought i saw you , mentioned this and someone 'said you were in Christchurch' ..... but close by Christchurch UK were only you can find Nuts and Bolt for sale ... i could make em here and sell em as spitfire parts or even , now let me think

Superb - as always

You and I have the same tastes in period/aircraft. Put Duxford on your list too if you want to see the only surviving example of the TSR2 - ( Ooops - i forgot the other one at RAF Cosford )

AND if you haven't got a copy already I thoroughly recommend you read "Empire of the Clouds" by James Hamilton-Patterson. Its engaging and very well written - a mine of anecdotes and information about the post-war British aviation industry - its rise and fall. Cant recommend it enough!
