As everyone is snowed it you might like to tune in to Radio 4 on Thursday (7th Jan) at 2,15pm for a Radio Play entitled the Killing of the TSR2.

Here’s the BBC blurb

“By Robin Brooks. The true story of the struggle to build TSR2, the British-built world-beating fighter jet that never was. Years ahead of its time technologically, it was scrapped by the Labour government in 1965, after just one supersonic test flight.”

I didn’t manage to listen to the play though.
