The TSR2 reminds me of the US Navy A5A Vigilante bomber as they were not too dissimilar in appearance and size. The A5A had a host of problems including the largest radar return of its day. Changing the role to recce gave the RA-5C a reprieve and I wonder about what the limitations of the TSR2 might have been. Was it really such a wonder machine as its fans have come to believe? The Buccaneer took over the role more than adequately.
