It's not that we forget about them. It's that we lament the cancellation of the aircraft before all the problems were brought to light or wrung out. Part of me wishes English Electric had just been left to build its airplane with Vickers being told what to build and how to build it, and without tasks constantly being loaded on that the plane hadn't been asked to do when first green-lit. Another part of me wishes it could have been put on ice for five years while the avionics it REALLY needed came to fruition.
