Talking to one of the chaps at Cosford about the TSR.2 they have there he was very informative and spoke in great depth about what hapenned with a few bits in the aftermath.
One thing I do remember him mentioning was that Roland Beamont was awarded the stick top from the flyer (XR219) and one was also gifted to Jimmy Dell, this is not to say that yours is not from the flyer as they could have used more than one.
The stick top from XR220 at Cosfrod is held in thier stores so if you contact them then you wll be able to find out exactly what the serial number is for cross reference.
When the project was cancelled and everything was scrapped and a lot of the paperwork was also burnt to destroy sensative information, construction records will most certainly have been destroyed and this would be the best place to look to find out exactly where your stick top came from.
Oh and by the way, just for the record, I am jealous as hell !!!!!!!!!!!.
Kindest regards,
John.
