TSR2
A recent conversation with an ex-Bristol-Siddeley engineer led to the following story, which readers might wish to comment upon.
Apparently, during the flight testing of TSR2,the T/P decided to "give it some welly" and achieved in excess of 2.5 Mach.....comprehensively outstripping the Lightning chase plane.
Since the flight test envelope was supposedly transonic, there was an "inquiry", as a result of which the T/P was "relieved of his duties."
Anyone care to expound?
