Summary: Opening caption "Trial No GP 404. Bloodhound Mk 2. Explosive safety distance. Fired 21st August 1963"; subsequent captions give more specific details. A full size Bristol Bloodhound missile, complete with boosts and fins, is shown with coverage from two cameras from different angles (labelled as 315º off axis, which is a three-quarter forward view, and 205º off axis which is approximately a three-quarter rear view). A small explosion is set off, then nothing, for what appears to be a long time; then, suddenly, what is believed to be the main warhead explodes.
