    … imagine what an airforce we would have had with these aircraft!!! man the government suck (concerning tsr.2) everything was destroyed, construction jigs the lot, someone made sure that she would never fly again! wilson had a lot to answer for!

    pretty sure that they are all civillian owned, having been put up for auction when they were retired. my understanding is that 134 has been put on the civil register (G-OMHD) and will fly again sometime soon, just wondering how soon is soon 🙂 the canberra truly was a hell of an aircraft! i mean, the americans bought it didnt they! :rolleyes:

    i know its not a fighter, but i still reckong that the TSR.2 would have been truly something to behold! accelerating away from a lightning engaged in full reheat whilst only engaging reheat on one of the engines!!! any aircraf that can accelerate away from a lightning must have been something else! and for an aircraft of its size! are there any modern aircraft of the same size that had the same sort of performance?

    …On the down side I could not be any more dissapointed with the reaction I got when asking to look around the Victor. I realise I cant judge the whole team there by his actions, but he could not have been more clear if he told me to f… o.. I wont be asking again.

    What is with people at the moment! :confused: it must be the heat, the pictures look fantastic 🙂 was it worth the epic walk? :p

    I get now that there, is no possibility of there actually having been a tallboy bomb anywhere in the pacific. i know that the movie is complete fiction, like i said before “could there be a tallboy in the pacific” the answer, so bluntly pointed out, is no!

    Cant see why some are being smartalec about it, it was a legitimate question!

    this seems to be turning into a personal battle (perhaps the mods could clean it up a bit?), possibly keep the subject on the thread, i.e 558′ come on guys what is the point?

    i know the whole thing is fictional, also i know that tiger force was disbanded before it was deployed due to the atomic bombing of nagasaki and the end of the war in the pacific theatre. having re read my inital post i can see that the question isnt quite clear.

    what I meant was, is there any plausibility behind this? were there any dropped in burma by the raf or indeed anywhere in the pacific, or were they never deployed to the pacific theatre at all? i was just interested to see if it might have been a possibility that somewhere there was a tallboy bomb.

    the ensuing explosion ……. :diablo: hehe i also like how the local tracker who must be half the age of the bomb, knew exactly what it was who dropped it and its nickname! 😀
