An article discussing the design, history, and economic aspects of the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) TSR-2 multi-role aircraft is presented. The author explains the goals of the program, such as low-altitude/high-speed flight, a large payload capacity, and advanced avionics systems, and details the expenses the failed program incurred. Surviving examples of the airplane, including a restoration located at the Imperial War Museum Duxford in Duxford, England, are also addressed.

The article features the restored Vicker Wellington bombers which were displayed at the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum and Brooklands Museum in England. Accordingly, Brooklands plane was the only bomber who saw 14 bombing missions over Europe. Moreover, the plane was found 230 feet under water at the bottom of Loch Ness by Royal Navy divers. The bomber had been on a practice flight with six navigators when it ran into heavy snow that apparently blocked its engine which resulted to its breakup.

The article reports on the unsuccessful flights made by two Lockheed P-38F Lightning for Duxford, England. In late July 1942, a brand new Lockheed P-38F Lightning took off from Canada and headed for Duxford, England, to join the war but crash-landed on the Greenland ice cap. On June 22, 2007, another P-38, brand new again, took off from Teterboro, New Jersey, for Duxford, intending to complete the mission. However, once again the big fighter, now named Glacier Girl, never made it.
