Theo, thanks for posting. Comments: note the ungainly undercarriage retraction process--reminiscent of TSR.2. Also, note flaking of paint esp on dorsal side of fuselage during final landing/taxy sequence, indicative of high temperatures encountered in a high-speed flight. The depicted aircraft is A/V-1, the sole survivor now at the AF Museum in Dayton. As we know, sadly, A/V-2 was lost in a midair collision with an F-104. At least you fellows have 2 surviving TSR.2s! (BTW this Yank thinks TSR.2 is waaaay cooler than B-70) cheerio chuck
