Indeed the Argus 200 series computer was used in the Bloodhound 2 Launch Control Post to do a number of functions involved in the operation of the system. It was replaced with an Argus 700 in the late 1980's, just in time for the system to be canned.
Also Wythenshawe was where a large amount of the Missile and LCP electronics were developed and built for both the Mk 1 and Mk 2. As for the other stuff, Radar Proximity Fuze, EMI at Haynes, Airframe development at Filton, Ramjets at Patchway, most of the actual Bristol/BAC manufacturing at Cardiff. Mk 1 T83 Radar at Rugby (BTH(AEI)), Mk 2 T86 Radar at Endinbugh (Ferranti) and bigger T87 again at Rugby (again BTH(AEI)), plus Mk1 T82 Tactical Control Radar in Manchester (Metrovick(AEI)).
I took a Dead Dog to Filton once, 25 Sqn had dropped it while loading it on to a 15 tonner (landed on the ground inverted).
