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
The whole damn thing still makes my blood boil !

Hi Dave,
Well now that you mention that with the F-111's in OZ. Our company has been asked to keep the test equipment going for them as it is failing and the company who made it are no longer in existance. The main test guy from Australia was over 4 weeks ago at the factory and they are in the sh1t for sure. Of course the Australian versions are extensivly modified from the USA versions with more electronics aboard than was originally intended.

. . . . . .. . . . . . even thought the colour scheme is rather limied, anti-flash white but in service it would have worn camouflage.
And there are some . . .
Note the writers coments 'as it might appeared'
