saw this last week and cant believe no one has posted about it, its old news.
from what i gather it starts with a v8 cosworth f1 lump that is also the fuel pump for the rocket then the eurofighter typhoon jet engine kicks in and finally a 16" dia hybrid, high test peroxide [htp] oxidised, [htpb fueled] rocket motor that produces 27,000lbf of thrust that takes it to 1000mph.
it will be the biggest most powerfull rocket engine to be fired in the uk for twenty years, though the speed test run will likely be in south africa.


it was covered on bang goes the theory last week bbc1 7.30 29/7
surely good publicity for uk rocketry even if it is a world away from pyrotechnics

and i thought i could make a rocket, oh well.

what is required to hold a cat 4 display for a wedding?
i understand the venue should have held one before or licensing may be tricky.
and that i have to pay.
is it that simple?
the budget will be quite small £1000-1500 for a short duration show 3-5 mins maybe pyromusical if the budget permits it.
im asking here because likely chances are that if i hired someone they are here already
i live in south east essex, i can be more specific with details if required.
does anyone know of any venues near me or are there any firers/operators near me?
it would be nice to source a local team that could cater for our needs.
pigroast and drinks for all.
