Fantastabulistic Hood :D This aircraft reresents the Holy Grail of British aircraft design. And yes, for anybody who has had the privelege of standing under the sole surviving example at Duxford Imperial War Museum it is a relatively big aircraft.

I'm really looking forward to all the versions :)
...In for the Canadian it's the AVRO CF-105 ARROW !

Also, really good work Hood on the TSR-2 ! :shock: :D

Great drawing Hood! Fantastic depiction of what was a fantastic aircraft :)

Here is the Australian Sentinel tank from World War 2 that was discontinued after 65 were built. The first - AC1 - was designed as a cruiser tank with a 2pdr main gun. When this was proving to be increasingly ineffective as an anti-tank weapon, a 25pdr gun was installed in a slightly larger turret to create the better armed and armoured AC3 'Thunderbolt'. The final version didn't go past prototype stage but was designed to mount the 17pdr anti-tank gun in a much larger turret (a concept tested by mounting two 25pdr guns side by side in the turret and firing them simultaneously) - I couldn't find any pictures of what it might have looked like aside from the prototype so I used some artistic license and based it on the AC3 hull with a larger turret.
None of the tanks saw action and the program was terminated in 1943.

Of course, the other great lost design; and the dermise of both signalled the end of independent design in both countries :cry:

Yes I was at Cosford on Monday last week. An awesome beast and so sad to thing of what could have been.

Anyhow here is one of the pre-production machines and one of the first batch of production TSRs in squadron service in the early low-level camo scheme devised by BAC in 1964.
