@richardvernon317 interesting information - I wish YTubers would try to stop passing this off as a world beater when it wasn't and probably could never have been without a massive cash injection that the country couldn't afford.

@trolleriffic very well written; this was a very complex problem. Reducing the argument to typical British stupidity, or typical Labour government, or a US conspiracy really does miss a lot of the real issues with the aircraft. I'd go as far as saying the subtitle of this video and its general submission that this bomber was perfect is misleading - like many prototypes, there were gaps between what it should be able to do on paper, and what the engineers of the time could actually get it to do without an endless supply of money. It's also worth mentioning that Polaris was being developed at the same time.
