The winter afternoon light falls on the TSR-2 displayed outdoors at IWM Duxford with its towbar attached. This was the fourth development batch airframe that was partially complete when the program was cancelled. The mission profile called for the highly advanced TSR-2 to fly 200 feet above ground level to deliver tactical nuclear weapons.

Unflown 4th prototype TSR-2 which somehow survived the axe when the project was cancelled by the Government and arrived at Cranfield in 1966. Part of the Cranfield College of Aeronautics "Library of Flight" on a rare external display as part of the Cranfield Pageant which followed on the back of the Business & Light Aviation Show. Passed to the IWM at Duxford in March 1978 and still on display there in 2023.

This was the second prototype of the TSR.2 (Tactical, Strike, Reconaissance). This example never flew as the project was cancelled by the Labour Government on Budget Day, 6th April, 1965 in favour of the inferior F111. TSR.2 was to perform, in the 1960s, a similar role to that now performed by the Tornado. Two airframes remain and the others together with all tooling were destroyed on Government orders, a travesty for the British aircraft industry. I, as a 12 year old can recall the public outcry.

Wise politicians cancelled this monster I think. The elegant curve with Roman numerals belongs to the Concorde wing.

The prototype BAC TSR-2 and the only example to fly. Exhibited at its sole public appearance at the Warton factory 1966 families day. It was taken to the Shoeburyness test range shortly thereafter and tested to destruction. Sheer political vandalism.
