I agree entirely elfa, the TSR2 was a cracking airframe (allbeit with a few 'bugs'), why we ever bought phantom I'll never know.
the Nimrod I'm working on is the MRA4, an 'all-new' aircraft that just happens to look like all the others dating back to the 1940's designed Comet. Actually I think almost every feature of this a/c has been designed from scratch - I think it's just nostalgia that' kept it looking the same as the older Nimrods.
The lightning was a lovely aircraft too, they have one at Warton as a display a/c, it's such a shame that British Aircraft don't really happen anymore, when they do they are in partnership with other countries (Eurofighter and JSF for example)
I yearn for the glory days of british aviation, the 40's and 50's
