there was a short-lived suggestion during the Falklands war that the existing TSR2 museum airframes should be "finished off" using Olympus engines borrowed from British Airways's Concordes, and avionics lifted from Tornado F2. The idea was that they would fly from Ascension and fly fighter patrols over the islands. There was a short article about it in - I think - Flight International.
Happily the idea quickly came to nothing
