    Duxford TSR-2 restored(again)

    Have heard that the chaps at Duxford have given their big ‘2’ a refurb.Lets hope they don’t leave itout in the rain like last time!
    So that now leaves the cosford example for the back engineering along with other assorted bits.Itwould also be a good opitunity to give the airframe a good corrosion proofing and repaint.

    TSR-2 Reborn Part 2

    To keep costs down use of composites could be used on items such as the u/c doors,airbrakes,access panels,radome,fin and tailplane.And since it would not be a service aircraft armour protection and plumbing ,wiring for droptanks and ordinance would not be needed.Though the weaponbay would make a nice spot for a internal fuel tank.Of course airshow appearences would make some money but what about off season?Joyrides for paying customers spring to mind as the tsr-2 is a 2 seater.Don’t go to Russia for Mig flights come here instead!Infact let the Russians build it .They build the impossible as their AN-225 and super agile combat jets have proven.
