Country: | Yes I think one was fullly built, and 2 were incomplete. I think one of these incomplete ones was broken up for scrap or something though.

Yes one was built, when the project was cancelled on April 6th 1965 all toolings, drawings and parts were destroyed or scrapped, with 2 incomplete prototypes surviving.

Country: | HA! if i could be bother to get off my fat arse, i'd be using "British Secret Projects- Jet Bombers 1949- [some date]" with a whole chapter for the TSR.2..........
and a book without an auther's name, does that not strike you as strange??

Country: | Nope - Just found it!
The Foreword is by Richard Noble, a land speed record veteran, I dont think he'd endorse any shoddy books. The book was researched by Nigel Gross, Anthony Peacock, Kevin Raymond, Tim Scott, John Sutherland, David Tremayne and Alexander von Wegner.
