The reality is we were bankrupt at the time. That is the main reason so many promising projects were cancelled.

How long after cancellation in 1965 would it to have been possible to restart the TSR2 project before it became outdated?

I live on Salisbury Plain, about 4 miles from Boscombe Down. With all the test flying that has been done from BD, and military presence through the ages I expect that there has been several aviation firsts/milestones nearby.

To my shame I don’t actually know for certain! 😮

I watched this at the cinema earlier in the week with my wife and for the first time in my life (I’m 31) I cried my eyes out at the end!

My music tastes are quite varied,
Guns n’ Roses,
Bon Jovi,
Clash,
Scissor Sisters,
Aerosmith,
Meat Loaf,
Queen,
Nickelback,
Prodigy,
Rod Stewart,
Bob Marley,
Mike And The Mechanics,
Jim Croce,
Ladysmith Black Mambazo,
Tchaikovsky and
Pavarotti to name but a few.

My eventual choice was an 04 plate Skoda Fabia 1.9TDi, in 10 days I’ve done several hundred miles with absolutely no problems at all, and I’ve been averaging about 55mpg.

The Royal Air Force (RAF) is the United Kingdom’s air force, the oldest independent air force in the world.[2] Formed on 1 April 1918,[3] the RAF has taken a significant role in British military history ever since, playing a large part in World War II and in more recent conflicts. The RAF operates almost 1,100 aircraft and, as of 31 March 2008, had a projected trained strength of 41,440 regular personnel.[4]The majority of the RAF’s aircraft and personnel are based in the UK with many others serving on operations (principally Iraq, Afghanistan, Middle East, Balkans, and South Atlantic) or at long-established overseas bases (notably the Falkland Islands, Qatar, Germany, Cyprus, and Gibraltar).

Borrowed from Wiki but it what I was going to say anyway!
