It seems that in 1962 the proposal was made to fit out what could have been 'Ranger 6' with a camera installation comprising the Ranger 3-4-5 vidicon unit paired with a high resolution (80ft at closest approach) film camera and a re-entry capsule that would drop the high resolution camera film...
I have come across a couple of references to an infantry version of Swingfire that seems to have not been Beeswing (regular Swingfire mounted in a rack on a Land rover or trailer). Kenneth Macksey makes reference to it in 'The Tanks; The History of the Royal Tank Regiment, 1945-1975' in which he...
