RE: British So, what is it
The landing gear is what put me off building a large scale TSR2, the airframe would be quite simple even if the wing area is rather small. Had an all moving stab. AND fin. but the gear is a nightmare. It also gave some horrendous problems during test flying of the fullsize and I have some private video taken of TSR2 landings when the gear almost vibrated, shimmied, itself to destruction.
If someone could design and build a scale gear the rest would be easy, even thought the colour scheme is rather limied, anti-flash white but in service it would have worn camouflage.
Totally agree with what everyone says about the TSR2 axeing. I was in the RAF at the time and I have never before or since seen such anger amongst my colleagues. Not many people know that the Australians were also interested in it and had they bought it instead of the F111 (still in service) the programme might just have survived
Remarkable similarity between the Arrow and the TSR2 temination and the effect on Canadaian and British aircraft design and manufacture.
The whole damn thing still makes my blood boil !
