The English Electric Thunderbird was a British surface-to-air missile produced for the British Army. The Thunderbird was primarily intended to attack higher altitude targets at ranges of up to thirty miles or so. AA guns were still used for lower altitude threats. They were the Army's only heavy surface to air guided weapon and were not replaced (by another heavy guided SAM) when they left service.
