Firestreak/Red Top.

I've oft wondered. As far as this non military bloke knows and is aware of, the Lightning was the last aircraft to be armed with these. Now, when the Lightning was withdrawn from service there must have been quite a few of them (missiles) knocking about so........................
did the last few weeks of Lightning service result in a live fire-fest over a range somewhere or
did they (the missile) simply get dismantled or
was it a combination of both?


Just wondered.
