A good TSR-2 potted history site can be found on Damien Burke's "Thunder
and Lightnings" site:

I think that TSR-2 was cancelled by an aircraft-industry-hating Labour
government, who really wanted to cancel Concorde, but discovered that
the penalty clauses were too punative. Though they repeatedly denied
it, I'm convinced that Jenkins and Healey were the prime movers. The
spite and malice attending the cancellation still make me angry (jigs
and tooling destroyed, documentation and even photographs burned). This
all points to the political nature of the cancellation. They might as
well have sown the Warton airfield with salt.
