This was link was posted over on PPrune. It's probably familiar to a lot of you but it was new to me, and it does give an impression of the aircraft that could have been.

It is new to me, too. Outstanding video on an outstanding machine...
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I have a VHS tape of the TSR2 and some of this does look familiar, although I've not watched it in quite sometime. 

My interest was in the main u/c and how it worked as I was planning something similar for my Mach III Arrow project I'm building.  In the tape there is some sequences showing how the u/c reacted to 'heavy' landings which puts what you can see in this clip in the catagory of a 'light' landing.  I remember there was a comment on the tape that had the TSR2 gone into production the u/c would have had to be redesigned because of all the movement it went through during heavy landings. 

I certainly didn't like the way it moved around and have made my adaption for the Arrow a bit more beefy.
