General Dynamics TFR ARI 5959 first tested on Victor B1. First Vulcan B2 fitted TFR was XM606 of Cot Wg loaned to MoA June 65 to May 67. Returned to service April 68 after mod programme.
Having read that XH536 crashed Feb 66 in TFR trials had assumed TFR fitted before delivery to Cot Wg in Nov 65. It had been retained for trials since new and this was its first service use. Being the fourth production B2 and with the Cot Wg being equipped with the last production batches, an unlikely candidate for the Wing. Assumed
if it had TFR, it was used for TFR training. Apparently not.
Will have to get the TFR files out on my next visit to Kew.
