Absolutely stunning! Brilliant find!!!

Someone posted a link to that a while back. Cool vid though ;-)

Not quite sure it was ever the RAF TSR2 mind you.. it never got that far :-(

Some great footage I hadn't seen before in there. Mad world indeed... :-(

Yep, great Vid, and seems to be better quality than the link that was posted before to it on youtube.

Ta muchly Neil.

The best thing we NEVER had

Love that piece of music, hauntingly beautiful.

I've always liked the TSR2, but after watching that video, I'm wondering if a major redesign of the undercarriage wouldn't be in order prior to service entry. There is WAY too much deflection in the legs at initial touchdown on what is otherwise a fairly mundane landing. I could understand 3-4 inch deflection on a heavy landing, but that wasn't especially heavy (based on the compression of the struts) yet you got at least 3-4 inches of deflection, if not more, in the main gear legs. That's not something that leads to long lasting landing gear, especially attach points.

Hi Chris

I can't remember if that vid shows it now but a mod had been introduced to at least one of the airframes. It braced the gear from the back in an attempt to stop the 'walking'.

I think the problem is that it's too tall. The only way they could have fixed the issue was shorten or thicken the landing gear legs. I don't know that bracing would be a good permanent solution in service. It would be interesting to see video of the modified gear though.
