Even more interesting stuff.
CNH where was the model when you saw it? Was it in D3 or D4 which are the hangers I've been into and are generally open to the public at events. Did you make a specific request to view it?

Daysleeper Another good read is ' De Havilland Blue Streak' by Charles H Martin. Its published by the Briish Interplanetary Society so I'm not sure it would be available on the South american river site.

Having grown up nearby, and then spent my apprenticeship at The RAE Range at Aberporth I've always been fascinated by Missiles of all sorts. However it's only when I came across the Space Uk Site that I've found any useful information about Blue Streak. Until then apart from a feature with a few pictures in my 'Peter Fairly TV Times Space Annual 1973' most articles that I came across in the press were inaccurate and dismissive of the project.
