Was the TSR2 program far enough down the road for it to have really fulfilled the status as 'Britains Great Hope etc etc actually realistic bearing in mind that sophisticated weapons systems like TSR2 tend to spiral upwards in cost . .
No country is especially good or bad at managing these programs and the Uk has had its share of projects that ballooned out of control but TSR2 always seems to be represented as a holy grail but as it was that much of a disaster that it was cancelled?
