/images/notams/notams21/sbd0731/sbd0731.jpgIn the 1950s and 1960s the British Aircraft Corporation was formed from anamalgamation of several existing manufacturers to develop a Tactical StrikeReconnaissance aircraft and TSR-2 was born. Sadly only one prototype wasfully completed and flew before the project was cancelled by the (shortsighted?) Labour government of Harold Wilson. Had it entered service RAFWyton could have been one of the designated bases. /images/notams/notams21/sbd0731/sbd1.jpgAnother victim of the political axe was the Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow. Itwas in later stages of development and the Arrow had flown for only a yearbefore being cancelled. At the time, it was the world's most advancedinterceptor, a superb aircraft that would have probably served well into the1980's in some form. The misguided belief at the time that Surface to AirMissile (SAM) technology would render it and other interceptors obsoletecontributed to the cancellation of the Arrow project on February 20,1959. It is that "what if" scenario that is depicted here with RAF Wyton basedTSR2's and visiting CF-105 Arrows. /images/notams/notams21/sbd0731/sbd2.jpgThe scenery consists of: Enhanced aerial viewGround polygon Aligned with Just Flight VFR Real Scenery NexGen 3DFull complement of hangars and support buildingsTechnical site and accommodation representative of the periodOperational night lightingDynamic night lighting in Prepar3D v4/v5AI BAC TSR2, Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow, and English Electric CanberraStatic C-130 Hercules transportsBristol Bloodhound Mk II missilesTeam SDB donates a portion of revenues from its products to UK Help forHeroes and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. /images/notams/notams21/sbd0731/sbd3.jpgPurchase Team SDB Scenery - RAF Wyton TSR2 for P3D v4/v5 See other Team SDB scenery
