The winter afternoon light falls on the TSR2 displayed outdoors at IWM Duxford with its towbar attached. This was the fourth airframe that was partially complete when the program was cancelled. The standard strike mission profile called for the highly advanced TSR2 to fly 200 feet above ground level at Mach 0.90 to deliver a 2,000lb internal weapon load, including tactical nuclear weapons. It featured a forward, a sideways and a Doppler radar, INS and a pair of NAA Verdan computers. The FLR was linked to the terrain-following system. The TSR2 was also designed for the photo and radar recce role.
