With regard to the TSR2 cancellation; I remember being told by a Senior Officer Student on SORF at Manby that Mr Healy had reported to the PM during a Cabinet meeting that a TSR2 wing had broken whilst under test and that it was this that led to the decision to cancel the project.

The statement that the wing had failed was quite correct - but incomplete. The wing that failed was the one being tested to destruction.
