The RAF museum at Cosford previously displayed a complete
Bloodhound section with Type 86 radar, LCP and missile. The only item on display
now is a missile in the Cold War hanger. (Does anyone know where the LCP and T86
radar are kept?)

From Daz
Coleman: "I recall painting this missile to be the Gate Guardian at West Raynham, this missile stands out as it was the only one re sprayed completely gloss green, only the warheads were usually painted gloss green". Daz served at West Raynham from 1987 -1990 as a painter and finisher. |

| Missile - Serial Number 1001 | |||
Newark Air Museum has a collection of Bloodhound and Thunderbird radars. A Thunderbird missile has also joined the museum's exhibits.

 Can a MOTE guy tell me what I'm looking at? |

The original question was 'Can anyone confirm if a Type 86 radar and missile (not on launcher) are still on the airfield at North Luffenham'? Yes they can and it's thanks to Dave "Robbo" Robinson for the following pictures taken in February 2008. Dave was a Q-B2-M man at Barkston Heath.
