SniperUK,

Great shots. I have had to keep my TSR.2 in the 'hanger' at present as I have not had the time to do more work but your model is inspiring me!!

While on my travels I popped into a second hand book shop Up North and saw a TSR2 book only issued I think within certain realms of the manufacturing core, but could have been wrong.. It looked a very interesting book and had the Rolls Royce logo on the back and a lot of pictures of the manufacture, detailed drawings, etc, but was £20.00 so gave it a miss.....

I cannot remember for the life of me what it was called...

The one that used to be at Cranfield is now freshly restored at Duxford.

Here's an idea for anyone looking for something different to do with their Airfix TSR2:

As a student I was on a flight testing course at Cranfield for a week back in 1977. While we were there a Japanese crew were making a film about the MiG 25 that defected to Japan. The TRS2 was fitted with a wooden frame to represent the Foxbat's huge air intakes and tarpulins were draped over them. The nose was painted grey with a red star and number. During our breaks we watched them tow the TRS2/Foxbat about the apron while they filmed it. I've never seen the results - it was probably only released in Japan.
