The Vickers Blue Boar was a family of British air-launched television-guided glider bombs of the 1950s which was cancelled during development. It was to have replaced unguided bombs between 1,000 lb and 10,000 lb, or be equipped with a nuclear warhead.
Ordered under OR.1059 it was cancelled in June 1954 after £3.1 million had been spent on its development because it was too heavy. However the casing design was modified and used in the Green Cheese air to surface missile.
