TSR-2: Britain's Lost F-111 Rival

Find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x0VpEyh2Us From the early 1950s, there was a fixation by military establishments, in both the East and West, for supersonic bombers. Missile technology was still in its infancy, and the pointy end of a strike force was still conventional bomber aircraft. By the 1960s, however, supersonic bombers were increasingly coming into play. Large designs such as the British V-bombers were already showing their age, and American designers had a keen interest in moving towards smaller, multirole designs, eventuating in the famous F-111 Aardvark. Yet during this same period, the British were also working on a similar medium sized design, known as the BAC TSR-2. Although it has largely been forgotten, this design - had it not been cancelled - may have been Britain's competitor to the F-111.
