But you were only suppose to shoot the SART / Flare pack off (being towed by the Jindivik). Bought a DVD box set of the Rank "Look at Life" films made in the 1950s and 1960's, one of which covered Rocket testing in the UK in the early 1960's. Part of the film covered the operations of the Bloodhound Mk 1 firing unit at Aberporth. After one firing they showed a close up of one of the Launchers that had kill markings on it!!! Most of them were parachutes (The majority of the RAF Bloodhound Mk 1's were fired at foil covered parachutes dropped from high altitude off a Canberra), however one of the kills was a Aircraft (either a Meteor or a Jindy, at the time that the film was made, the BHFU had killed one of each).
