Correct format for the designation "TSR2"

[Spellbinder99]

Is it "TSR-2", "TSR.2" or simply "TSR2"?

It seems to make a difference when doing web searches sometimes is all, plus I was wondering what was the official designation.

Cheers

Have you tried "that new Airfix kit"?

 

[Hobbes]

As far as I know, TSR.2 is the correct format. But not everyone uses that, so you may have to search for the others as well.

That's it Ollie, I was going to offer you one of my spare kits when they come, but NOW!!...

In my best Soup Nazi impersonation!

"No TSR.2 for you!!"



Cheers

It's 'TSR 2'.

TSR-2 is a French TV station, TSR.2 is some kind of networking interface thingamy and TSR2 is an alphanumeric aberration.  B)

Actually its T.S.R.2. as in Tactical Strike Recon 2. Thats what the brochure says. Much like M.R.C.A. for the Panavia 200 Tornado.

Obviously operationally it would have become the BAC Eagle GR.1, etc

Hey, look who's back!  

Where ya been Simon?

[Mairfrog]

Hi Nev, I've been off getting educated and getting a job with the firm who bought the firm that made the TSR 2 engines.  B)

I start on Monday.  
Designing aeroplane engines.      
For money.      

I wonder if there's an ekranoplan department?  

[Ollie]

Woo-hoo Simon!

Get transfered to Montréal, quick!

Hey congrats buddy!!

Which firm would that be?

that makes 2 hot-shot engineers then    

[Mairfrog]

It's a modest little outfit in the midlands who started off making cars before getting into this jet engine malarky during WW2.

No, it's not Rover!    

[Mairfrog]

Oi! You better go on your holidays now before you end up on a jet with engines I've worked on.  

Any more lip and I'll hunt you down in the company Spitfire.

How much do RR pay for making tea theses days?  

I assume you're based in Derby then?

[NARSES2]

So the future of RR is safe now then ?

Well done Simon

PS - who remembers the origional TSR 2 was the Fairey Swordfish ? TSR 1 was a slight sleeker Fairey design

[Mairfrog]

Thanks.

Yep, I'm based at the vast Derby site, but mercifully don't have to drive through Derby to get to it. Not a fan of Derby, all told. It's roads seem to have been designed by a pedestrian.  

Bit of a learning curve for me as I've not designed jets before (did a piston engine at university) and RR are the experts. It's a fascinating job for an engineer and aviation enthusiast though.
What's most interesting is the Heritage Trust museum. Loads of rare engines (like the Trent turboprop and a BMW 801 with turbocharger!) and a Canberra nose that you can go play in unsupervised. A far cry from the risk averse public museums, but then the public aren't allowed in.

So, if anyone needs spares for a Merlin engine you should come to me.  

BTW The first Fairey was the TSR but it crashed in an unrecoverable spin. The lengthened version was the TSR II, later named Swordfish. Even at Fairey, there was never a TSR 1.
