BOAC

BOAC - The Lightning missile firing shot was taken at Aberporth - it's XR754 flown by Dick Heath firing a Red Top - shot from a Hawk flown by Paul Warren It was taken on a large Format Bronica ETRS 75 mm lens - no motordrive - into the sun it was given extra light luckily with the missile firing.
The person who asked about fitting Sidewinder the problem is obscuration - that is to say the seeker head would be masked by the front fuselage so a missile on the right side would not be able to acquire a target 50 degrees to the left of the nose as it can't see it if that makes sense
