Beamont-Moneypenny's BAC TSR-2, shot taken over the Irish Sea corridor from Jimmy Dell's chase EE Lightning. During this flight the sound barrier was broken for the first time. Flight n.14, departing from Warton. 22 February 1965 Ever since its early stages…
The TSR-2's cancellation announcement during the 6 April 1965 budget speech came as a surprise to everyone, even its test pilots, as Jimmy Dell recalls: "Sixpence on fags, tuppence on beer and, by the way, we're cancelling the TSR-2!".
As a cheaper alternative to the TSR-2, the General Dynamics F-111K was clearly favored by the Defence Minister and the Cabinet, but this project never came to fruition – ironically enough due to cost issues

F-16 Fighting Falcon breaking off
In June 1973, an F-14 Tomcat flown by Grumman test pilots “Pete” Purvis and “Tank” Sherman shot itself down using an AIM-7 Sparrow missile.
The incident occurred during a routine flight test. The F-14 fired an AIM-7E - the missile came off, faltered, tumbled end over end, spewing fire and debris into the jet’s TF-30 engine.
The right engine caught fire, and the aircraft became unresponsive, forcing “Pete” and “Tank” to eject. The pilots ejected safely and parachuted in one piece into the Pacific.

Seeth pajeets, make cooler liveries for your planes. You have flankers yet you paint them in that ugly gray, who wants to see that?

And raiding a channel's comments because they posted Pakistani planes? How low are you Indians?

I'd rather keep posting the Nord 1500 Griffon than the ugly Indian gray planes
