Historical description:
The Firestreak missile, or Hawker Siddeley Firestreak (originally known as Fairey Fireflash), was a British short-range air-to-air missile, widely used by the Royal Air Force. It entered service in the late 1950s and early 1960s, serving as the main armament of fighters such as the English Electric Lightning and the Gloster Javelin. Firestreaks were used by the RAF into the 1980s, being, alongside the Red Top, the most important guided missiles of that era. This model will be ideal for dioramas or models of British aircraft from the late 1950s to the early 1980s, i.e., the Cold War period.
