Today it has been announced by the Humbrol Marfleet company in Yorkshire
England that all TSR2 models recently sold to model enthusiasts around the
world have to be recalled.
The UK Government has intervened in the production of the model stating that
its manufacture contravenes a 1966 order which states all TSR2 aircraft,
parts and TOOLS be destroyed. Because the TSR2 is moulded on a tool it has
to be destroyed.
The managing director of Airfix kit, Roy Annoid, has stated that anyone with
a kit has to return to its place of purchase. It does not matter if the kit
is made, partially made or unmade, the kit has to be returned. Humbrol
Marfleet may face fines of up to one million pounds per model not returned
so there is keen interest in the Airfix camp to get them back.
Mr Annoid advised that, on return of the kit, the modeller will be presented
with a voucher for a replacement kit. The kit will be an F111A which is
more expensive but not quite as good as the TSR2 kit.
