anything just let me know the number of it to cirrus5280 at g ...

Get well soon David Hart
Tue, 28 Aug 2007 21:27:06 +0100
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet in the other IRW threads, but
at the end of the "Cricket Death Match" after the IRW BBQ, David Hart

David, if you read this, I'm sure your fellow fliers will join me in
wishing you best wishes and a speedy recovery.

Hi All
As always, we never got any photos or video of it for the Rocket Store
website. If there is anyone out there that has any photos or video
that I can use on the Rocket Store website it would be great.

21 World Scout Jamboree
Sun, 12 Aug 2007 15:53:18 -0700

simultaneously launched. Lots of QM I believe. Only 16 failed to leave the
'pad'. Looked like a lot of fun was had by the scouts. Mind you 40,000
young people in ...

Hi Fliers in the UK,

lots of fun in the UK, as we were however not able to launch this year
due too the late announcement of UKRA and the scrapping of KLOB, and
the fact that we will not be able to come to the UK probably next
year, we have a st ...
