As the box top says, I am looking for four Firestreak missiles in 1/72,  I am willing to pay postage to Downunder if necessary.

Brian, how fussy are you on these ?

I have two ancient Matchbox versions and two more contemporary Airfix versions, with choice of seeker head. For some odd reason 3 Matchbox type Redtops as well.

The  Firestreaks will do nicely, thanks a lot.  I prefer the older ones which feature the seeker heads, if that is OK?  I'' PM you with my details, OK?

Done.

better getting used than sitting in one of my spares box drawers.
Get them on the way early next week

I'd advise going for the black Matchbox ones, as the more modern Airfix ones are quite frankly utter crap.

The only benefit the Airfix ones have are the clear seeker heads, but they're wider than the normal plastic bits.

The best representations of both Red Top and Firestreak in injection seem to be in the otherwise awful Trumpeter Lightnings.  Nicely moulded kit, but the accuracy is appalling.
