"Even more absurd is the endless repetition of the post-cancellation saga when the government supposedly ordered destruction of all the TSR2 jigs to ensure that the aircraft could never be resurrected. In reality no such order was ever given. BAC simply destroyed them as they would have for any other redundant project."
Page 160 "Phoenix Into Ashes" by Roland Beamont
" The programme was cancelled on Budget Day, April 7th, more than two months in advance of the promised review date, and all the aircraft built or under construction, the production jigs and all the equipment available or being prepared for the trials aircraft were ordered to be destroyed by the Government."
So the Chief Test Pilot of the TSR-2 doesn't know what he is talking about? Interesting.
