Last time,I got to Hyde Ok but noone seemed to know where it was :-((
I didn't have any M/Cr maps on me and had another engagement to go to - so had to give up.

BUT, this time,I am prepared - have the AZ maps and know where I'm coming to .

It may be Monday but I will get there.

Very impressed withthe rocket motor developments - especially the hybrid development. If they can perfect and develop larger - they have a winner there.

The liquid motors were just as impressive and I wish both Lead Officers (for want of a phrase) success in their developments on these.

I'll be back............
