A truly awesome machine! So advanced for it's day, in fact, that I would imagine the sheer cost of trying to mass produce it for the air force would all but bankrupt the country. Too bad, really.

I doubt it would have bankrupt the country, I bet it wasn't even as expensive as the Tornado. Now, THAT'S an expensive pile of junk. At least the TSR.2 was good.

My favourite post-war aircraft include:

AH-64D Apache Longbow- Yes a helicopter, top of the list.
B-36 Peacemaker- Awesome power for a bomber around the end of WW2.
Spitfire- The later 1950s re-engineering of this famous aircraft.
P-51 Mustang- The aircraft that really helped take the war to the German
heart-land.
B-52 Awesome adaptability in terms of roles.
B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber- Useful for early missions in taking enemy radar
installations and air defenses out relatively
safely, so that more 'normal' aircraft can carry
out their missions safely.
F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter- Useful for same reasons as B-2.
ACH-47 Chinook- Armed gunship version of famous transport helicopter.
Mig-25 Fulcrum- Awesome adaptable Soviet front-line fighter.
Foxbat- A fast Mach 3 recon aircraft.
SR-71 Blackbird- A fast recon aircraft that is only just being retired.
U-2- A large single engined plane- largest single-engined plane ever built.

That should really be F-51, if it's post-war. I've never known CH-47s to have seperate designations for gunship, although I imagine the US might have.
In the RAF, they just knock a few windows out and put rotary cannons through them. And then fit a big ass machine gun to the rear ramp, which my dad was on when ever flying in the Chinook in the Falklands.
