The Avro was a supersonic bomber interceptor that was going to be ready in the 1960's. It was good at one thing and one thing only (allegedly, it never flew at speed even close to the spec). It was made to counter a hypothetical supersonic bomber that the soviets never built. Sputnik made them obsolete!
