A good documentary shat all over itself with the weakly supported argument that the USA(those evil Americans again) knee capped the TSR-2 to protect its F-111.1. First of all if the USA was scared to death of the TSR-2 why then compromise TFX with Navy requirements?2. The far superior TSR-2? Against an uncompromising SOR-183, purely USAF TFX? Really?3. I guess it was American underhandedness that made India purchase Mig-21s in 1962?4. The far ahead in design TSR-2, that flew what 2 mos before the F-111?Sounds like stiff upper lip sour grapes to me.The UK for centuries(as many Western European countries) punched WAY above its weight. By the 60s they still hadn't figured out that the real big boys (USA and USSR) were ahead of it, if not tied with it in at least aerospace matters.
