The Test Pilot died on it´s maiden flight.
The project was closed after that.
Despite being a simple idea against bomber raids it never got operational.
The idea was to place the Natter near bombers target.
Start and climb to attack with the rockets, descent and bailout.
Both pilot and airframe would sail down on parashoots.
Would have been hard to defend against, imagine how small and fast those things would have been.
Just another try in desperation to prevent the allies from bombing civil and military targets.
