One for rocket fans - the battered remains of the Black Arrow rocket that launched Prospero in 1971 has been returned to the UK after lying derelict in the Australian desert for almost 50 years. It will be going on show in Penicuik(*) later this year

Britain's first and last rocket launcher 'Black Arrow' heads home

* for none Scots its pronounced "Pennycook"

Two and a bit years later & the Skyora rocket launch team is looking at ways to deorbit the long defunct Prospero bird that was launched on Black Arrow
