Fantastic footage....Which I watched, despite owning the video it comes from!

Maybe I'm way off the mark here, but if we had lived with a government that had actually wanted TSR2, then maybe we would would have ended up keeping P1154 as well. Then possibly we could have "son of P1154" right now out in the sandy places.....rather than waiting for "Dave" to show up one day.
(just think how much WEBF would have loved a super fast SHAR!)

This is not in any disrespect to any flyers we have have now doing a stirling job. But it seems to me that the UK was getting quite a few things right at that time of aircraft production (despite the government of the day)

The video/DVD the footage comes from is "TSR2 the untold story" available from DDHE, catalogue number (hopefully) DD1092
