Thank you for linking to CAMM that's the sort of capability I couldn't understand us not having. I wondered if the reason we didn't have much more than a token Bloodhound force in the Cold War was because we assumed the Soviets would use ICBM's not stand off or conventional strike against the UK mainland?

I would still have thought that post 9/11 it might have been desirable to have had a more 'theatre' SAM system in the UK. Those precious few Typhoons can't be everywhere at the same time.
