Wouldn't it be true to say though, that the UK could have had an aircraft of very similair capability to the TSR2, but cheaper and carrier capable if they'd have tried to buy the The North American A-5/RA-5 Vigilante from the yanks.
All this talk of conspiracy suggests that TSR2 was nothing other than a job creation scheme that got too expensive, even for the Labour government of the day - or am I just being provocative?
