Bloodhound Relics

Home

Please contribute if you have photographs from the RAF Museum at Cosford etc. and if you have information regarding Bloodhound relics elsewhere.

Royal Air Force Museum Cosford

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?)

Photos taken on 16th September 2007. Click the image for a full size photo.

  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    

Imperial War Museum Duxford

Currently a missile on launcher and Launch Control Post (LCP) are on public display. The reminder of the complete Bloodhound section previously on display are now in storage at the rear of the conservation hanger (see below).

Photographs taken on 10th November 2007.
The LCP and Missile at Duxford formed the centre piece for the 2007 Remembrance day service.

Bloodhound Relics at North Luffenham

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.
