Summary: Final section of a film made by Shorts Film Unit about the Blowpipe missile. Caption reading "These series of firings were filmed at practice camps RA range Hebrides" [ie RARH - the Royal Artillery Range Hebrides] is followed by a number of firings versus a smoke-emitting target (target cannot be distinguished - possibly a Rushton towed target?) except for the final one; which is against a Falconet unmanned aircraft. This results in a direct hit, and the aircraft bursts into flames.
