HOW many hear knew that Sweden had shown an interest in the TSR-2? I sure as h*ll didn't, but I just read it!
Now, if you want. Xtradecals has made three "what if" sets for this lovely machine....and Swedish Airforce in splinter camouflage is one of them. HOW cool would this one look!?

Since were on the topic of 'What didn't you know about Sweden' How many knew that Sewden is apparently the best place to be a mum? -Heard it on the radio today
Not sure if you know, but a certain well known manufacturer of die-cast model planes, is releasing a 1/72 TSR2 around Nov this year....and yes, I have pre-ordered one. I wont add a link but if anyone is interested, drop me PM. Pricey, but it looks a cracking model in all over white.
One of my claims to fame is that I actually saw a TSR2 in flight once, but that was a very long time ago. It impressed me then and having seen the one at Duxford....well...lets just say that the impressiveness is magnified somewhat when you see just how physically big this babe is. Roll on Nov
Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out and broken, shouting "Holy cr*p, WHAT A RIDE !!"
Yep, it's impressive Gary, and a disgrace that the Government of the time killed it so quikly. It would still be viable today, with updates of course. I had a book, loaned out and never returned (Da*n!), which had a very apt title; "The Murder of the TSR2".

Don't know old boy. There's supposed to be one coming out which is the 'full' version of a series of magazine articles, expanded to book size and with more pics, but I haven't seen it advertised yet.
