Bristol Bloodhound SAM

The Bristol Bloodhound was a British surface-to-air missile developed during the 1950s as the UK's main air defence weapon, and was in large-scale service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the forces of four other countries. The Bloodhound Mk. I entered service in December 1958 and the last Mk. II missile squadron stood down in July 1991, although Swiss examples remained operational until 1999.

Nice to see it anyhow - always fascinated by these cold war warriors - as far as I'm aware they were never fired in anger - therefore its hard to confirm how good it was - unlike that other big sod the Soviet SA 2 which was used all over the place.
