My current Father-in-law was one of many skilled engineers to have nearly lost his job when that pipe smoking Gannex wearing jerk of our Prime minister chopped the TSR2, however he was then moved onto other A/c type with the then English Electric at Preston, however much later on he and about six others of his ilk were persuaded to go and lodge down at Duxford to carry out repairs to the cosmetics of the TSR 2 currently on view there, it seems seven very highly skilled engineers spent quite a lot of time making by hand without any plans or patterns parts to refit to this A/C, so younger folk could see what superb machinery we Brits can make, my FiL was a staunch Labourite! not now though!!
