Fairey Battle, Blackburn Botha and Saro Lerwick, to name just a few....

But one of the very worst must have been the Percival P.74 helicopter - of which it was written "The first flight had to be aborted when the aircraft failed to fly".......

TSR2 wasn't an industry blunder - it was killed by politicians and Lord Mountbottom.
