The Interceptor is a small one-seater fighter that forms SHADO’s first line of defence against UFOs. Its most striking feature being the single missile that protrudes from the front of the craft.
From when SID detects them, Interceptor pilots literally have minutes to slide into their craft, get airborne and achieve optimal firing position. By then the UFO is nearly out of range. Because UFO’s move so fast, engaging them normally is pointless, a dogfight would be like trying to chase a jet fighter with a mobility scooter. This is why the interceptors fire nuclear missiles.

This is a Dinky toy from the late 60's/early 70's. It is in original condition except for the missile - which is a high-quality reproduction.
