Reference TSR 2, see here* pages 33-44, but especially 40-44.

As stated the TSR 2 was a Canberra light bomber replacement, not a strategic bomber replacement and, with the cost going through the roof and the pull back from east of Suez on the cards, cancellation was inevitable - as was the subsequent cancellation of the F-111.
