  • The Americans scrapped it before the UK managed to get it to properly work with Vulcans. They then sold us Polaris instead in return for a submarine base in Scotland.

  • failure

  • can't you make whoosing noises in the background?

  • Good thing the Soviets never got that dirt-seeking missile working.

  • Skybolt never even entered service, it was dropped, and polaris was adopted instead.

  • Great video, glad skybolt was never needed in anger.
