Ok - my last version of the TSR2 (well, until I figure out how to navalise her...)

This is a fictional "b" variant. A simplified and strengthened version designed to carry out "bomb truck" duties. Much like the venerable Republic F-105 or the F-4.

My thinking is that the "a" variant was the original high/low level nuclear bomber. Some of these originals were then taken out of service and mothballed, in a similar way to the B-52 as a result of the START treaty. At the out brake of hostilities in the Balkans, these aircraft were re - commissioned with strengthened wings and put into service as part of Operation Deliberate Force - the NATO air campaign against insurgents and belligerent forces in the former Yugoslavia.

This is opposed to the "c" variant (see my Desert Storm TSR-2) that kite was a modification of the then operational "a" variants.

Controls;

AG1 + vtol down - flaps
AG2 landing chute
AG3 drop internal bombs
AG4 drop internal bombs
AG 5 lights
AG6 drop all bomb racks
AG7 drop brake retarded bombs
AG8 + vtol down open bomb bay

Enjoy.
