I was a student at Cranfield in the mid 1970's and took a sneak peek
into the hangars and there was the TSR2. I was told that all (both?)
the prototypes were to be destroyed but this one had clandestinely
been saved. The only compromise was that, once it had landed and
hidden, the wings' main spar was to be cut through to prevent it ever
being flown again.
I really don't know if this is so. Can anyone confirm this?

ps: Now wouldn't be nice if the myth of the "flown off" CF-105 turned
out to be true.
