Not that Javelin - the
other Javelin.
A British SAM, that replaced Blowpipe.
The last model got a new guidance system and was renamed "Starburst"
Which was the immediate predecessor of Starstreak.

that up! 
I completely forgot about "that" JAVELIN. Though you jogged my memory, I didn't know much of it's background except what it did and who was the primary user. THANK YOU! And yes before someone beats me up here, I did see the thread title. I hope the other 2/3 of the info was somewhat useful and I'll leave you to it. Just a little parting gift below that's non-WIKI...
