Continuing the theme of this thread, here are links to photos and information on the English Electric Blue Water nuclear-capable battlefield ballistic missile (see: http://www.skomer.u-net.com/projects/bluewater.htm , http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarch...20-%202516.html , and http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/bluwater.htm ).

Powered by a Cuckoo solid propellant rocket motor, it had a range of 55 miles, but despite its promising tests the British government bought the shorter-range US Honest John instead. The book "Project Cancelled" by Derek Wood (see: http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.c.../references.php ) includes 3-view drawings of two *air-launched* variants of the Blue Water that were intended to be carried by the cancelled TSR2 (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAC_TSR-2 ) tactical strike aircraft.
