EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the momentous occasion of the first Thor missile being transported from RAF Lakenheath to RAF Feltwell in Norfolk, England on 19 September 1958. The Thor missile, a major development in the field of nuclear weapons and strategic defense, is seen here being transported by road on the back of a flatbed truck. The Thor missile was a ballistic missile capable of delivering nuclear warheads over intercontinental ranges, and its arrival at RAF Feltwell marked the beginning of the station's role as a key base for the United States Air Force's ballistic missile program in Europe. The Thor missile was a significant advancement in military technology, and its transportation from Lakenheath to Feltwell marked the beginning of a new era in strategic defense for the Royal Air Force. The photograph shows a convoy of vehicles accompanying the missile, including a police escort and support vehicles, ensuring the safe and secure transport of the valuable and sensitive cargo. The Thor missile would go on to play a crucial role in the Cold War defense of Europe, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the historical significance of this moment in military history.
