Great pics mate! :-flo I have in my collection few of them! :-jump
Fortunately, the current T-1 version haven't guided bombs A-G, so it will be useless in coming attack on Libya.

The ground attack version of the Tyhpoon will not ready until 2018, so with no Harriers in service, they will have to use GR4 Tornados. We wait and see.

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 ( :-tri), requirements that necessitated incorporating "state-of-the-art" aviation technology that made it the highest-performing aircraft in these roles.

Although only one prototype was completed, test flights confirmed that the aircraft would be able to meet its stringent design specifications.

I thnk it was developed to run into minefields with mine disposal teams?

Very close, it was used by the RAF EOD teams on bombing ranges in the UK, I spent a day with them way back in 77

It is going slowly at this minute, then again we want to get the facts right and this type of book takes a lot of research.
