TSR2: The Most Advanced Military Jet That Never Was

[@JamesWilliamson-w8y]

My father was chief toolmaker at Weybridge on the TSR2 project. I got lucky when he invited me to go with him to see the first flight, 1 of only flights 21 ever made , Not may alive today have seen a TSR2 airborne.

Maybe you should change the title... The TSR2 was a Jet Bomber. An Advanced Jet Bomber for its time.

[@MikeBarnett]

Changed it thanks

[@alanbrown5593]

Because it was a bomber, not a fighter.

100 %

Clearly click bait, the TS2 (Tactical Strike & Reconnaissance) wasn’t a Fighter but intended as a SS Canberra replacement.
