Wonder if anyone could help me out with this...
http://esculent.co.uk/topics/bloodhound/bloodhound.html

Been trying to find out just what it was, and if anyone else saw it, but no luck so far. I made a request to the base but they refused to disclose.

[WJT]

Whatever it was, it was NOT a Bloodhound missile launch (or a Thor for that matter).

Bloodhound was only ever fired from UK soil at Aberporth. Bloodhound was not based at Marham in the 1970s - they left there in the early 1960s. Bloodhound did not lauch vertically - it went off at the angle shown in the pic on your thread, and very fast.

The only vertical launch missile we had, Thor, was never based at Marham and they were only ever launched in the USA.

Were you watching an aircraft climb out from Marham using reheat?

We discussed this in another thread as I recall. The statement is full of improbable lines.

Cracking images Richard, as for the paper item, at least this RAF station may have a future in this MOD gloom and Doom
