TSR-2: The Untold Story (Part 4)

The Untold Story features the controversial aircraft that was a technological triumph for Britain, a world beating tactical, strike and reconnaissance aircraft years ahead of its time. Had it ever seen service it would have been the most powerful weapon in the NATO arsenal. And yet it was scrapped. Why? TSR2 - The Untold Story reveals the international intrigue and high stake politics behind the cancellation - and reveals how a £200,000,000 aircraft project was reduced to just £50,000 worth of scrap metal. When the project was scrapped - all film records of the aircraft were ordered destroyed. However, much was hidden away in secret. The makers of this unique film were given exclusive access to that hidden original film archive material. Much of this is in pristine condition and includes stunning air to air sequences of the TSR2 in flight, take offs and the first flight. Also featured are exclusive interviews with leading politicians of the time, senior RAF officers who were closely involved with the TSR2 programme and the chief test pilot.

I'm an American.The UK should have kept this plane.Our Eisenhower, JFK & LBJ administrations encouraged its cancellation. We had a very big share of free world aerospace business as we do today. Trouble with us is we tend to worry about the defense,farming,financial, pharma & software sectors but precious little else. Farmers are politically powerful and these other sectors make lots of new millionaires.

@george385 I've often wondered why they called themselves the labor party while they actually caused more unemployment and damage to the once great British industry. Getting rid of the jobs while at the same time promising to help the workers isn't very smart,after all.

@george385 you think any other party are any different?

@Kresnov Credibility - lets get a few things straight....1. I own you nothing, and 2. You approached me? The fact is that after every single Labour government this country is left bankrupt with nothing to show for it. You not seen the newspapers the last few days? And - just for the record I did not vote Labour, Liberals nor Tories.....you work it out?

[Kresnov]

@george385 You only see what you want to see,I refer you to the last part of my comment but you went right ahead and blew any credibility you had by trying to tar me with the Guardian reader brush(not). 12000 service men and woman about to have their livelihoods taken away from them by yours and the bleeding heart liberals slash and burn politics, nice one keep voting that way I'm sure your next tax break is not too far away.Enjoy

@Kresnov What a load if tripe from a typical Guardian reader. The LABOUR government of the time didn't have to accept the bribe? Look back in history of this country and after EVERY SINGLE labour administration comes bankruptcy. YES it is Labour's fault - since THEY WERE ONES IN POWER?!
