TSR2 Classic British Jets DVD - Description
TSR2 - The Untold Story features the controversial aircraft that was a technological triumph for Britain, a world beating tactical, strike and reconnaissance aircraft years ahead of its time. Had it ever seen service it would have been the most powerful weapon in the NATO arsenal. And yet it was scrapped. Why? TSR2 - The Untold Story reveals the international intrigue and high stake politics behind the cancellation - and reveals how a £200,000,000 aircraft project was reduced to just £50,000 worth of scrap metal. When the project was scrapped - all film records of the aircraft were ordered destroyed. However, much was hidden away in secret. The makers of this unique film were given exclusive access to that hidden original film archive material. Much of this is in pristine condition and includes stunning air to air sequences of the TSR2 in flight, take offs and the first flight. Also featured are exclusive interviews with leading politicians of the time, senior RAF officers who were closely involved with the TSR2 programme and the chief test pilot. DVD extras include two documentaries, newsreel and TSR2 film clips.
