Synopsis:
TSR-2 – The Bomber That Barely Flew
This lecture covers the chequered story of a Cold War aircraft that had a strong connection to Boscombe Down – the BAC TSR-2. Its story is one of pride that, despite political infamy and unkept promises, demonstrated unmatched technical evolution and resolve.

I would like to make email contact with Joe Jackson, and also have the link, if available, to the youtube video of his lecture, to see if it is suitable to add to my public “EASAMS” page on http://www.gpss.co.uk/easams.htm – but before visiting that, it would be wise to see my “Home” page of http://www.gpss.co.uk so my time at EASAMS, working with Tornado and ex-TSR2 guys is seen in perspective. I’m probably old enough to be Joe’s grandad, but liked what I read, including the coincidences, such as Loughborough Uni and light aircraft hobbies. My contact details have been public, online, and unchanged for decades. e.g. landline UK 01344 620775 Mobile (dumb) 07736 353 404 and address of 22 Armitage Court, Sunninghill, Ascot, Berks SL5 9TA.
