41 Squadron most definitely make sure that anybody entering their offices at Coningsby see's that they were a Bloodhound unit (they have framed coloured drawings of the various aircraft operated by the unit dotted around the Corridors and a Bloodhound 2 on a Launcher is one of the set). Their Squadron Association also covers their time with the system. 33's Squadron Association on the other hand hardly mention the fact that had operated the system. 25 Squadron's Association folded in 2014 if memory serves, but their web site does cover the Bloodhound years (not surprising seeing that the web master for their site was a Type 86 radar fitter).
