TSR2 v F-111

The F111 inferior to the TSR2. Hardly a comment which has any validity. The TSR2 was "still-born", the RAAF F111's gave almost 40 years of service, albiet costly. As for the "seemingly regular losses of F111 aircraft in non-combat situations", I would suggest that the F111 had a good safety record compared to many other types.
