Black Arrow UK rocket from 1971, remains of its first stage today.
I took this video last weekend, 17th Sept 2023, at the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust here in the UK. Farnborough is the home of UK aviation and aerospace. The forst recorded stable and controlled, powered flight in the UK was made here by Samuel Cody - of Iowa. Do we know anyone else who comes from Iowa with a connection to aerospace? The Prospero satellite that was placed into Low Earth Orbit by this baltic warrior remains in orbit to this day, and its orbit is unlikely to prevent it from decay until another 100 year or so.
