Britain's Most Controversial Aircraft - BAC TSR-2

Greetings! :D

This week, we look at the contentious tale of the BAC TSR-2, what was meant to be the most advanced strike aircraft of the 1960s, but one that was dogged from the start by mismanagement, financial overruns, delays, a lack of political will, and competition from contemporaries that received all the things that the TSR.2 lacked in order to see them through to fruition.

However, in spite of the TSR-2's ultimate failure in 1965, the legacy of the aircraft lived on in the technology it pioneered, with low-altitude ground radar systems inherited by the SEPCAT Jaguar and Panavia Tornado, while its engines, following modifications, formed the basis of the powerplants that would propel the mighty Concorde into the pages of history.
