A Black Arrow rocket will soon go on display near the offices of small satellite launch firm Skyrora in Penicuik, Midlothian, Scotland, reports the BBC.
The Black Arrow projectile had lain at its crash landing site in the South Australian outback for 48 years.

Over time it was damaged by extreme weather and vandalism before space technology firm Skyrora stepped in.

...the Black Arrow's journey home saw it transported across land and sea — making the trip from the Australian desert to Edinburgh via Adelaide.

Skyrora has also commissioned a plaque to be placed where Black Arrow had lain.
