Description


The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 was a cancelled Cold War strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The TSR-2 was designed to penetrate a well-defended forward battle area at low altitudes and very high speeds, and then attack high-value targets in the rear with nuclear or conventional weapons. Another aspect of its combat role was to provide high-altitude, high-speed photo reconnaissance, requirements that necessitated incorporating "state-of-the-art" aviation technology that would make it the highest-performing aircraft in these roles. The TSR-2 was the victim of ever rising costs and inter-service squabbling[8] over Britain's future defence needs, which led to the controversial decision to scrap the programme in 1965. With the election of a new government, the TSR-2 was cancelled due to rising costs, in favour of purchasing the General Dynamics F-111, an "off-the-shelf" decision that itself was later rescinded as costs and development times skyrocketed. After cancellation all parts tools and most of documentation were destroyed. Only two aircrafts survived Many people say that they destroyed not the hardware only but the faith in british aerospace industry in the world. For more information please read in Wikipedia. It is a simple rendering with a very high detailed model found in Googles Warehouse from PM3D. Such detailed models needs some experience in importing and usage in the own renderer. They need a lot of work and own texturing work because Sketchup works totally different than the usual programs. But there are many very useful models.

The last great hope for the British aircraft industry.. A world beating aircraft, crushed by politics.. Brilliant! I've seen the one at Duxford, still a stunning design.. Thanks, Rob

The Avro Arrow in Canada had a similar fate, and a similar story. State of the art, crushed by politics.

This is a really cool looking plane and render. You've done a terrific job on it!! Excellent match-up of background and model. I agree with you on the use of sketchup models...great resource but often they need a lot of work to use them effectively. (For instance, sketchup's odd way of incorporating textures is very frustrating at times.)

The F111 Robert McNamara at his finest bit of micro managing something he had no concept of. Nicely done scene.
