Red Angel trials on the Scimitar

The Red Angel anti-ship rocket was probably considered or tested with the Scimitar, while Buccaneer integration is less certain.

Question

Was Red Angel ever fitted to the Buccaneer or Scimitar?

Short answer

Possibly on the Scimitar, including testing, but that recollection is uncertain; the Buccaneer case is unknown.

Notes

Red Angel may have been considered for the Supermarine Scimitar, and there is a tentative recollection of testing. Whether trials actually took place remains uncertain. No definite answer is given for the Buccaneer.
