Edit - just realised I called the topic 'surface to air' when I meant to say 'air to surface' - sorry
Hi everyone
This is my first post here and I'm hoping you will be able assist me in some research I am undertaking. There is a photograph in the Alfred Price Spitfire book of a Supermarine Spiteful aircraft loaded with 4 x 300 lb rockets. The caption states that each of these 'triplex' rockets was comprised of a 7.2 inch howizter shell which fixed to three 3 inch rocket motors (as used on the RP-3 rocket). It appears to have stabilising fins at the rear.
Does anyone have any more information about these rockets, such as photographs, drawings or specifications?
Thanks in advance.
