Did you upgrade Warton's scenery between the TSR2 flight and the Lightning flight? Or did FS automatically turn down the details for the TSR2 approach? Beautiful planes BTW

BTW I don't think Warton ever had Stalwarts (or modern Ford Transit vans - certainly not at the same time LOL). A nice vid though - seeing as I used to work at Warton (1989-1998). Incidentally when TSR2 was produced, I'm sure that the site was British Aerospace (BAe) Warton and not RAF. In WW2 Warton was a USAF base...

thanks Tach. Yes you are probably correct

since you worked ther. I used Stalwart as no other vehicles add on vehicles available for FS2004 at that time . Ive since got a new higher performing PC and more options.

Think I did upgrade Warton scenery from default

before making this but a freeware add on not payware so thats why its a bit iffy.

Scrapping TSR2 was both tragic & EXTREMELY foolish. It was years ahead of ANYTHING else. As usual, a myopic, anti-forces Labour government was responsible for binning an awesome aircraft. I visited RAF Cosford last year & got chatting to one of the stewards. He explained that TSR 2 had a projected life span into the late 2020's!!! It was designed to enable it to be repeatedly upgraded. Labour scrapped it & stated they would buy the F-111-never happened. Typical Labour imbeciles!

thanks for watching

@dbarl64 I have since found out, that the US promised the UK government that we would receive FREE F-111's, in return for scrapping TSR 2. Why? Because the US realised that the TSR 2 would wipe the floor with the F-111 & dominate the export market. Australia & Germany had already openly stated their intention to buy TSR 2. Guess what they ended up with, and UK received none of? F-111 General Dynamics! Another example of the so called 'Special Relationship' in action. Disgusting.
