BAC TSR-2 and the Avro Arrow

and the cancellation and subsequent complete destruction by the Diefenbaker government of the Canadian Avro Arrow ?

Having a standard that pilots lose their licence after making a mistake despite doing no harm to aircraft or passengers means soon you needn't worry about a pilot surplus or pilots offering to fly for free. Where do you get your experience from?

How the hell did that thing get off the ground, what with all that ugly it was dragging around?

Interesting story though, never heard about that one.
