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.

Oopss! I think the closure is supposed to stay in the rocket.
