Thank you for that. I saw the TSR2 in flight back in the 60s. I was on an
army exercise on Salisbury Plain at the time, and there was a "chase" 'plane close by which, I think, was a Harvard - although the memory does dim with time! -- Moving things in still pictures FastStone - Infinitely Flexible Photographic Fixing - For Free! - www.FastStone.org |

I saw the TSR2 hidden at the back of a hanger at Cranfield in 1974/75. The story was that the government had ordered the prototypes to be scrapped, but it was flown to Cranfield (School of Aeronautics) and had its wing main spar cut through before being secreted away. |

As I recall, Harold Wilson ordered a total destruction of the aircraft, plus
all the jigs and so on, making resurrection impossilbe. He may have been right... Helllo, where did that come from? -- Moving things in still pictures FastStone - Infinitely Flexible Photographic Fixing - For Free! - www.FastStone.org |
