Superficially Blue Steel always reminds me of Rascal in size and shape. Was there any read across?
 
A model of two MX-776 / GAM-63 on B-36 Instillation would look interesting in ones collection!

The link shown for the RASCAL Design Proposal is dead. I've searched the current Air Force FOIA e-library without success. I'd really like to see the proposal in its entirety. Any idea where it resides now?

I'll see if I can find a downloaded copy when I get home from work.

Very little. The US held nuclear stuff very very close. The UK did get a few pieces offered to them, but as I understand it at the time it was a single tech transfer for both weapons and naval reactors.

The UK did get a small chunk of information about the internal dimensions of the Mk5 RBA for Trident II and the entire missile compartment design, and then got another look at submarine tech for Astute.
