The real question is whether the TSR2 would have been any good for any of the many roles for which it was intended?
Could I point the Hon Member to:

John Forbat's " TSR2 - Precision Attack to Tornado" ISBN 978 0 7524 3919 8

The book contains quite detailed descriptions of the TSR2 avionics and AFCS. The question one has to pose; and answer; is whether the system could have been made to work at all and if so could it have functioned properly in anything other than its narrow primary role?

If nothing else you should read Ch9 - The Central Processing System.

I fear that the introduction to service would have been long and painful and by the time that it was complete we may have found ourselves in something of a cul-de-sac.
