sw: your Q presumes concealed "truth". This must be the most ink-consuming aero design ever: may I suggest a visit to RAFM/Cosford where their example is displayed with the avionics bay open. Vast, hot, as befits 1958 technology. By the time of its much-delayed first flight, miniaturisation/ruggedness was onway: BAC was then already scheming what became AFVG/UKVG/Tornado. At IWM/Duxford a Tornado is next to a TSR.2, which you will see is about as long as the adjacent Vulcan. It is just as meaningful to bemoan the death of this type as to bewail the demise of Super-Fury 1945 piston types, beached by turbine propulsion. Very good luck in finding something fresh to say.

We were onto what appeared to be a magnificent technical breakthrough, which should have gone into service with the RAF in the seventies and provided them with an aircraft that with updating would have been in service today and would have had all the abilities and the modern developed equipment of the Tornado, but it would have much further range and a lot faster!"
