This video shows Brooklands Recovery Engineering and Salvage Team collecting a Bristol Bloodhound Missile from RAF West Raynham in Norfolk and transporting it for restoration. The job was organised by Roger Hargreaves of Proteus Aero Services and you can see some unique footage of both West Raynham and Quedgeley ex-RAF bases. It was filmed on the 6th and 7th of December 1991. You can see more of BREAST's work at http://www.breastjobs.net

I was at MSF - Wings and Fins section from 87 to 89. Not the most interesting posting of my RAF years.........but it is sort of nostalgic to look back on it.

Could be, though that would have meant that He was at Raynham for a very long time (he'd been at MSF when I got there in mid 85 for a while). Missile and launcher went to the Bristol Aero Collection at Kemble (and will soon to be going home to Filton),

If you are in touch with him please pass on the link. It may amuse him after all these years.

I'm sure the side loader driver is Cpl Mark Laws a 'fuelly' from MSF

I can remember the Driver Brian, asking if we could go back via a local garage and explain to them what we were going to do with it, if they kept 'flying out' to accident on our patch and pinching work of us!
