RAF Thor Missile Survivors…

Does anyone have a complete list of surviving RAF Thor missiles preserved both in the UK and USA?

Best Wishes

Unsure why this appears to be a duplicate post by PR, it’s answered more fully here, http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=102335&highlight=THOR

I’m gradually attempting to compile a current RAF Thor survivors list, the progress of which I’ve posted over on AiX HERE.

I’ve been using data from a number of sources, including J Baugher’s USAF Serials, Mr Boyes’ excellent Project Emily, Air Power History Vol.56 No.3 (Project Emily and Thor IRBM readiness in the United Kingdom, 1955-1960) and Mr Barton’s old Thor IRBM History Website formerly on Geocities.

Currently I have a total of 86 RAF Thors, of which 61 are known to have been launched at various times both during and after their RAF service.
Of the remaining 25, 7 are/were on display and 18 seem to have no known certain disposition.

Does anyone know the true identity of the Cosford Thor by the way?

All the best,
PB
