Well.....
Remember when I got my first 1/48 Airfix Lightning and was shocked over its size.... Got my TSR-2 today, just a wee while after Vic's candy bag.
My first reaction when the postie handed over the parcel was....
'What's this??'
'Haven't bought anything this big...'
*out with the knife.......sliiiiiize....takes a wee peek*
'Aaah.....the TSR-2, well packed I see, everything should be alright then, good stuff'
'eeerrrmmmm........what the f*ck!?'
'Look at the bl**dy size of the box...!'
*Lifts the lid*
'Oooh.....cr*p!'
*Holding the fuselage halves*

*Picks up the wings*

*Gets the Lightning out, to compare*
'Oooh.....sh*te! Where the h*ll am I supposed to put this monster when done!?'
*Puts on the kettle for a brew.....f*ck this, I need Guinness!*





 
Been watching TSR-2 videos on YouTube.... It's hard to believe that, when the first and only time that the TSR-2 flew supersonic, it only used the afterburnner on one engine. Still, the pilot flying the Lightning chase plane, had the afterburners ignited on both engines, he still couldn't keep up! As we all know, the Lightning is not a slow bird on afterburners...

What a machine this was/would have been..... Is it too late to string those poiliticians up, that cancelled the project?
