Sorted!

It's ok,you can all relax. TATA Industries has purchased the design and construction rights to the P1154. The new V/STOL multi-role aircraft will be produced by HAL, Bangalore. The design is being upgraded to use lighter modern materials in the structure to give enhanced performance, reduced weight and greater payload capacity. A TATA spokesman said "This aircraft is large enough to accomodate all the latest radar and weapons systems at an extremely competitive priceand could even be equipped with a working gun!" Rumours of TATA acquiring production rights for the TSR2 were said to be untrue although an enquiry about producing a modernised Belslow in competition with the A400M was met with a coy smile and "no comment".
