Photos taken at UK firing camps in the period 1988 - 1990. Wire guided anti tank weapon. Those shown here are the practice version, fired from the AFV 102 (Striker). Previously they were fired from the AFV 432. Operational HEAT warheads are dark green (olive drab?). Photo 4 shows Swingfire packaging. Each Unit Load Container (ULC) holds 12 missiles, each in a wooden laminated `launcher container'. In the centre of the photo is a wooden pallet stacked with missiles in launcher containers. There was also a `World Wide Pack' (WWP), that was made of laminated wood and painted brown, designed to hold just one missile in its launcher container. I think the WWP was in service before the introduction of the ULC.
