Default RE: Canadian So, what is it

Hi
Any British kid whose father was an aviation nut ( that includes mine) was told to NEVER forget. It was the tradgedy that practically killed the UK avaition industry. By all accounts the TSR2 would have been the dogs do das even by modern standards. And just to put the cat among the pidgeons the rumour was that if it had been fully developed and full filled its earlier promise it would have killed all F111 sales world wide. Hence the UK government were encouraged to kill the program and kill it good. Drawings Jigs the works destroyed.
