The TSR.2 is emblematic of the decline of the military aviation industry in the United Kingdom. The cancellation of this might-have-been contender for the position of world's best tactical bomber still provokes strong reaction among British aviation enthusiasts. The famous aircraft designer Sydney Camm said "All modern aircraft have four dimensions: span, length, height and politics. TSR.2 got the first three right".

* There are a number of aircraft that remain interesting not for what they accomplished, but for what they might if they hadn't died in infancy. Sometimes these aircraft even acquire the status of cults. One of the most appealing of these "cult" machines is the British Aerospace Corporation (BAC) "TSR.2", an elegant and advanced British strike aircraft of the early 1960s. This document provides a short history of the TSR.2.
