Looks as though it has annular discharge pipes as well !! :)
They're to keep the noise down. Did ask the guy if they'd let it off on Nov 5th... Alas not :-(
There is a tenuous Norton link here in as much as the Bloodhound's ramjet propulsion was developed by a team working under Beatrice Shilling, pre-war Norton rider and tuner...

What SAM missile is this please?
I thought it was a Bloodhound, Bernhard, but it may well be an English Electric Thunderbird. I'm assuming they only have the one, but it used to be blue and white. Not sure why they'd repaint it, though?
(I should have read the plaque!)
I'll go for SAM Smith... as it could be one or the other :-)

I too thpught Bloodhound until I looked closer.
As I don't keep up with the armed forces and their latest toys, I find it a mystery.
 
200 mile day out in Essex and Suffolk, UK. Lunch on the coast. Weather was kind, for a change this year. Bike was faultless. A perfect day.
