Well said, BEagle. Wilson cancelled the P1154 as well, this would have been the supersonic Harrier.

They not only cancelled the TSR2 project, they also broke up the assembly tools so it couldn't be made in case a decent government got in. But it didn't matter because Ted Heath became PM and was as useless, if not more so, than Wilson.

I loved looking at Concorde and watched her land at Filton for the last time. Sadly I never flew on her, I couldn't afford it. I wish I'd tried a bit harder!

But even more sadly Concorde was a huge white elephant, it cost an amazing amount just to "sell" them for £1 each.

And then they blame Maggie for ruining industry!!!!!!!!
