A sad loss what the video fails to tell you is the F111 was cancelled by the UK government because it was going to end up costing even more than the TSR2 ! The biggest problem the TSR2 had was the government asking for an aircraft to do the roles of three to four aircraft and not thinking this was going to cost a lot of money in the sort term much like we have seen with the F35. Having been at Boscombe Down in the 1980's there were still people there that knew about this aircraft and they all said the TSR2 was excellent. What the UK ended up spending on other aircraft the TSR2 would have saved the UK a lot of money for many years. Thank you.

@gort8203 The people I worked with at Boscombe Down said the TSR2 was the BETTER aircraft even when they had the F111's there from the USA in the 1980's.
