I. "Thunderbird Firings 1975" (titled). Five Army (Royal Artillery) firings of the Thunderbird Mk 2 missile, apparently the whole of the 1975 campaign. Tracking on each firing is for approximately five seconds, ie separation plus two or three seconds. Not all the tracking is good, and No 5 suffers an early break-up.
