Hi Frank, and welcome back...

At least I now know where the wolf in "Due South" got its name from.

Rather like our TSR2, whose printed circuit boards
ended up made into minidresses in Carnaby Street.

Hi, Mike,
Glad to be back. (mind you, it was what, like 4 days?) <g>
I forgot all about Diefenbaker the dog! Geez, I might get into trouble now. That was one of our "in" jokes that only Canadians got. Now the secret's out...
So, what was the TSR2?
Pretty much the same as the Avro; 25 years ahead of its time, double supersonic, nuclear capable jet fighter which apparently scared the Soviets silly. Not to mention our allies.....
Cancelled by a rabid socialist Chancellor that some conpsiracy theorists are convinced was the highest Soviet mole ever. He looks like a mole.... 8-)
