Just a quick one, discovered that prior to our Ben's TSR-2, there was a TSR I and a TSR II.

Having looked up images of 'kewpie doll' online, I don't think that I would post a reply even if I new.
By the way, did you also know that there was a TSR.38?

Well, I was going to reply that the Torpedo-Spotter-Reconnaissance I was the original Swordfish prototype with the T. S. R. II being the second, more advanced version but as I've no idea what a kewpie doll is - and have no wish to win one, thank you - that disqualifies me so please disregard my last transmission.

A pair of Kewpie Dolls could be worth as much as $500. So I'm willing to take all those that are not wanted.

Like wot Pete said, but he said it first. The roman numerals indicate they were pre 1950 odd too.

I recall hearing the Canberra being referred to as the TSR1 but no idea how definitive that was. My English Electric history is buried under Crimbo preparations.

Kewpie sheep or nothing!

I knew about the Swordfish (TSR2), and I vaguely know what kewpie dolls are ( which I hereby donate to the needy at Christmas time ). Don't know about the original TSR, unless we are talking about the Russian monarch .

[TSR2]

Pete and Allan are both right. The Canberra was in some quarters referred to As TSR in its early days, obviously a different use of the acronym than the earlier Faireys. TSR2 was so called as it was a replacement for the Canberra…

[Paul K]

Ah but TSR isn't an acronym - it's an initialism.
