A little bit about the BAC TSR-2 #tsr2 #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari | Boneyard Safari

XR220, one of two surviving complete BAC TSR.2 airframes (the other resides at IWM Duxford). The expansive avionics bay reveals the extent of the kit aboard the jet, and much of this technology made its way into later designs like the Panavia Tornado #warbirds #coldwar #coldwarhistory #panavia #tornado | Daniel J Wheatcroft

🔥 The legendary BAC TSR-2 — a glimpse of what could’ve been. A masterpiece of British engineering that was decades ahead of its time — supersonic, low-level strike capability, and cutting-edge avionics in the 1960s. Cancelled before it could fly into service, but never forgotten. 🇬🇧✈️ #TSR2 #AviationHistory #BritishEngineering #ColdWarJets #AviationLegend #SupersonicDream #AvGeek #MilitaryAviation #PlaneSpotting #JetPower | The Flying Duck77

A BAC TSR-2 filmed in flight, 1965. Envisioned as an aircraft capable of supersonic speeds, low-level performance and carrying a nuclear weapon, development was ultimately cancelled in 1965.

TSR 2 Test Flight The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 was a cancelled Cold War strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The TSR-2 was designed to penetrate a well-defended forward battle area at low altitudes and very high speeds, and then attack high-value targets in the rear with nuclear or conventional weapons. Another intended combat role was to provide high-altitude, high-speed
