On a related note the Museum of Berkshire Aviation [1], about 30 miles west of London, has a Chevaline[2] reentry module. This includes a dummy warhead along with gyroscopes, decoy 'flares', and all the hydrazine pipes and steering systems.
It's fascinating to see close up, especially the quality of workmanship on it all.
They also have things like a Miles M.52 (1943 supersonic project) and a Fairey Jet Gyrodyne (jet exhaust from the rotor tips). It's a great little museum if you're ever in the area.
I've just uploaded some pictures from my visit [3]
