Although TSR.2 would have had considerably more range than Tornado and would have been far superior at high level, it wouldn't have had the excellent all round versatility of Tornado. But it looked much nicer!
I thought you needed 20/20 vision to be a pilot!

TSR.2 is one ugly beast. The Tornado by comparison is stunning. The F.3 even more so.... a lean, mean, fighting machine.......
