This missile was cancelled just as it was showing promise. Designed as an air-portable, mobile missile, to be mounted on a 3-ton Bedford truck, with the ability to shoot and scoot. Originally called Red Rose, the missile may have been a modified Red Shoes SAGW, but the requirement demanded a completely new missile.

Cancelled by Harold Macmillan, PM in 1962.
