IRW+2003

    =INTERNATIONAL ROCKETRY WEEK, IRW2003 (LARGS, SCOTLAND)=

Time was upon us again for another IRW. Our first IRW was back in 1995. This year we would have a few new rockets to fly. The upscale Estes Commanche 3 may even have been the first 3 stage composite rocket to fly in the UK? (if it had worked!). Images below are a small collection of the event. This would be the last year for the Rover Vitesse. Weather was not too bad this year too.



David and the Haribo rocket on 3 x D12-3's....sadly the rocket spacked!

Me and Sean getting ready to fly. Sean on a Hypertek J (only part filled on the pad so lack of altitude) Below is me with the camera rocket on a kick but J570 (love that motor or what!!) Pad cam view of my old camera rocket that flew fantastic on the J570. That motor still has to be my favourite!
