Fairey Fireflash Missle

That was my understanding but this is definitely a private collection on public view.

Hence my question.

I know it’s a long way for m3bobby to travel but if he’s ever dahn sarf go and have a look. The importance of a lot of what has been gifted is huge and once it’s been gifted to a private individual, or even a trust, there’s no guarantee that it will stay in this country or remain on view. That said, Croydon Museum was an MLA/DCMS accredited Museum until it sold some artefacts overseas.

There’s a very nice Fireflash in the Combined Military Services Museum at Maldon..

Went there a few years ago, they have excellent displays. I would have spent a lot longer there, but had the wife with me 🙂

There’s a very nice Fireflash in the Combined Military Services Museum at Maldon. Lots of other interesting items there too. The outside, with three rusting AFVs and a a slightly more rusty Argentine Field Kitchen isn’t very promising but once inside you’ll be knocked out by what’s in there. A lot of it was gifted by the Government and includes weapons and armour going back to the fifteenth Century.

Does make you wonder why the Government will gift such items, and a huge quantity of section five weapons, to a private collector but won’t allow Museums access even to the scrap pile.

Does anyone have any pictures of a fire flash in the following colour scheme, I thought it was black and white but upon stripping our missile it apears that ours was dark navy blue and white.
