People probably already know about this, but I have just come accross a book in my local library  "TSR2 IN HINDSIGHT"  RAF Historical Branch.     Although old, it's a fascinating set of papers including one on "If the TSR2 had NOT been cancelled".    If you find a copy it's worth a look.  Anyone else seen this around??

Interesting.  Doesn't show up on any of the book search websites I tried.  Do you have an ISBN for it?

It's so old that it doesn't have an ISBN! (I work in bookselling and appreciate how useful these numbers  can be)    I will have a look at it when I go home tonight , I'm  posting this during my lunch at work.    Any data will appear here tomorrow.

Excellent book - it's the proceedings of a conference on the aircraft held in the 90s, with much input from those who worked on various aspects of the project. Probably the first publication to admit it was something less than the miraculous super jet that Beamont had been pushing since the cancellation. There were just a handful of people contributing to the conference that were still wearing rose tinted specs.

The RAF Historical Society publishes its journals at the link below; journal 17B looks like the one you're looking for.

If only you could print from that link - the print button is disabled whenever I look at it.

I have just had a look at it and the file is password protected, and most of the permissions are not permitted.
