That would be about right...when we built Concord(e), we were about 50 years ahead of the Yanks.
Shame we were sold down the river on TSR-2. Coulda been a good 'un.  I suppose the same could have been said for the Canadian Avro Arrow.  They might find that it ain't as easy as they'd like to think. Especially, economically. |

I was an apprentice (Aircraft Tchnician) at BAC Weybridge (1963) worked on TSR-2, Concorde, BAC 111, VC-10 ..
When TSR-2 cancelled and virtualy no orders for VC-10, 111 not doing well either ...thought mmmm not much future here then better move on. Crazy to think though we probably built the best Aircraft in the world ! |

The USA's first jet was the P80 Shooting Star, built in 1943 with a British engine. Look at them now. I think we more-or-less just put all our secrets in a brown envelope and posted them to the Americans for nothing. |
