any chance of uploading with correct aspect ratio? proper 16:9 or whatever..

[cavalier080854]

This was uploaded in 4:3 ratio, and for some time could be viewed as such. Unfortunately over time has been reduced to what you see now. But if you download it as an flv file to your computer it can be viewed still in 4:3 ratio. This must be due to the compression employed by youtube. I have resubmitted it in the past with still the same result.

Hi Cavalier.Thanks this is the only TSR2 real footage ive ever seen. and its a crying shame to see what happened to her

Destroyed by a filthey socialist government; what's new?

[Soupdragon1964]

Roy Jenkins and Dennis Healey should have been sent to the Tower for treason. Selling us out to the Americans so that they could press ahead with the, admittedly good, but vastly inferior F-111 was a crime that they never answered for. Thanks for posting though.

Politicians.... Enemies of the people, self serving, morally corrupt sycophants... Let's see.... The Miles project TSR 2 CVA 01 (aircraft carrier, scrapped by healey and his red buddies) Nimrod AEW (fantastic aircraft. Scrapped so we could buy the Boeing ) Type 2400 submarine (if carlsberg did submarines......) HMS Ark Royal Harrier And the Nimrod MRA 4.... Nothing short of treason.........

polotics as always! they did the same to the APT train few years later. (built by some of the same guys that built tsr-2) way ahead of its time, now we buy the tech back we sold abrord to them yrs ago? and only 2 of these vevicles survive too

@gracko14 Agree entirely. Everytime Britain is blighted by the odious Labour socialist dross, HM armed forces end up all the weaker for it. The cancellation of TSR 2 was an utter disgrace & it dealt a blow to our aviation industry that it has never recovered from. I saw XR220 at Cosford a few weeks ago, stood right next to her & I felt like crying-what a terrible waste. We built THE most potent strike ac in the world, and the Labour moron's sold her out due to Yank pressure.

Bloody labour communists

[Factnotfictionpeople]

Ah, Politics - I can't think of anything that has caused more wars, death and destruction - and that INCLUDES religion..........

[spacestevie2]

This was incredibly stupid!

[qwertdr]

Actually, it's only just been surpassed in the last 5 years. Very impressive.

[Ichikohsan]

Doesn't matter, but they scrapped to much planes that should have been in the museum of a remembrance of the old days such as the Shackletons, are they all scrapped too. Even like the Lancasters, beautiful planes only 3 still flying, or is it only 2 now.

[viewson800]

I agree totally with you, because it is the truth. What is the MRA4 project?

[alexgets98]

Yes there is a empty TSR 2 at RAF Cosford museum!! (cosford is about 10 miles away from wolverhampton, search on google maps for it!!)
