Hello all
I know there has been much about the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) TSR.2 :
For many years I have known of the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) amazing and futuristic looking TSR.2 strike aircraft and the controversy that went with its cancellation.
I agree and recognise that the RAF and the British Aviation Industry would suffer for it!!! :'(
But for some unknown reason with my very keen interest in aircraft (especially prototypes, GOR, RfP, WS…………..projects) I have never looked deep into this very advanced aircraft.
So over the past years or so, I have made a conservative effort too do so.
I have read some ‘What If’ and what could have been stuff on other web sites.
But I am only after facts!
With this research, I have become interested in the following -
I am looking for drawings / pictures / information (if there are any?) of the BAC TSR.2 bomb bay and weapons configurations proposals/specifications.
For example I have read that it's was too be able to carry-
1 x ‘Red Beard’ (strategic) nuclear bomb
Or
2 x ‘WE.177’ (tactical) nuclear bombs
Or
6 x 450 kg (1000lb) GP bombs
Or
1 x 2,600 L (570 Imperial gallons) fuel tank
Added to this is the writings about a single 4,500 L (1,000 Imperial gallon) tank carried centrally below the fuselage?
‘Wow’ 4,500 L is a big drop tank! (the Su-24 'Fencer' used 3000 liters drop tanks!)
Is there any drawing of this giant tank fitted to the TSR.2?
P.S.
I will be following this request up with a more in depth request too you all in the near future about the TSR.2
Regards and many thanks in advance
