I remember it all well, even bought the record by the tornados, or at least my Dad did.

(right click and "save target as" using IE)

Its hard to understand the excitement the new satellite caused these days when we can easily watch 3 or 4 launches a year live. I somehow cant see a record being created to commermorate the launch of Hotbird 9 next year.....

Rolfw's is the original, Analoguesat's is a poor copy. I wore mine out by playing it too often. It used to be played over the tanoy when we were re-equipting Goonhilly One back in the 60's.
