Enigma Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 In the pic of the Stroch is on the right a part of a tail visible. Is it from the Achilles autogiro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Is that another TSR2? I thought only one survived the scrap yard? One of my friends is the son of the scrap dealer that recycled them. Blimey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarmike Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) The only TSR2 to fly wasn't broken up by scrapmen. XR219, was taken to Shoeburyness and used as a target to test the vulnerability of a modern airframe and systems to gunfire The other two airframes to be completed were saved one at IWM one at Cosford. The only TSR2's broken up were incomplete airframes that were being assembled as a result of the 1957 defence white paper.

schliesser92 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Was it the 1957 Defence White Paper ? - I thought that the TSR-2 debacle was under the Man With The Gannex - and he didn't come in as PM until 1964! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancellation was announced on 6th April 1965. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schliesser92 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Sorry, misread your post - I thought that you were referring the disassembly of the TSR-2s with the Defence White Paper. I still think that the TSR-2 was the best strike aircraft the RAF never had!, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
