[QUOTE="spiney, post: 146133, member: 192438"] Let's not forget the TSR2: [URL="http://members.aol.com/nicholash1/tsr2.htm"]http://members.aol.com/nicholash1/tsr2.htm[/URL] . [URL="http://www.aemann.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/aircraft/virtraf/tsr2.html"]www.aemann.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/aircraft/virtraf/tsr2.html[/URL] . Plagued by problems - like most such projects - then cancelled just on the point of being successful! Final cancellation was due - I think - to the Sidney Hooker's Olympus engines being "not quite up to it", although they were later on, and much of the technology was re-used in Concorde. NB, there's a famous book called "project cancelled", a history of British aerospace projects that "almost" made it, then were junked just before completion! [/QUOTE]
