I just read the review in the September FSM and it raised a question.
If the three built were serialled XR219, XR220 and XR222 what was XR221?

The review in FSM also raises another question, at least for me. I thought
all TSR kits were on a mandatory recall because of licensing issues, and
fines levied for those who didn't comply. Was that all sorted out or
what?

No, I think that rumor fell under the modeling urban myth category.
There was no licensing problems relating to the TSR.2 once Airfix
produced the kit.

More likely an April Fool's joke.

I thought it was allocated as a static test airframe?
