TSR.2 design proposals …

errr….. yes?

Just what I was thinking – is there a question attached to any of this, otherwise I’m not sure what the information was for?

I take it you’re still not talking to me Joe?!:p

the only ones which iv never seen drawings for are the ‘RAE. Low Altitude Slender Delta studies, 1957’ and ‘RAE. Nuclear Powered Tactical Bomber studies, 1957’, re. the latter there is a file relating to this in the PRO./TNA. but the appendix which would have included a basic design parameter drawing was sadly missing.

if anyone out there has seen anything re. the RAE. studies during their researches id love to see it to enable models to be made of the concepts

thanks, joe

I’ve seen a large scale model of an F-105 in an RAF white scheme (at Midland Museum I think?) it looks impressive.

That was probably the Bristol Olympus B01.22R-engined variant proposed to the RAF in 1960.

I think I can guess how this thread is going to end up!
