The British Aerospace Skyflash was a medium-range semi-active radar homing air-to-air missile derived from the US AIM-7 Sparrow missile and carried by Royal Air Force F-4 Phantoms and Tornado F3s Italian Aeronautica Militare and Royal Saudi Air Force Tornados and Swedish Flygvapnet Viggens. The missile was replaced by the more capable AMRAAM although the RAF discovered in testing that the AMRAAM without the mid-course update was less effective in BVR engagements than the older Skyflash.
