Day 159: Black Brant Rocket

Rocket flying again and look!  It's blue skies!  I can't believe we have had yet another beautiful warm sunny day - normally we would get one launch meeting a year with weather this good if we were lucky.  This is one of my dad's rockets - it is a scale model of a Black Brant sounding rocket (I can't remember which one off the top of my head).  It is probably about 60cm long but I am not good at estimating size, and like most of the small rockets I have photographed, I appear to have a touch of motion blur on this.  They do go rather fast though - like a rocket you might say ;-p
