As I'm totally fascinated by anything space orientated, I am excited to think that I may be able to see an actual launch here in the UK at some point! There are lots of pro's and cons obviously for the locations but I think this is amazing news for me anyway! "Space exploration is like lighting a match and we don't know what lurks in the shadows. There could be anything out there." The Engineer - Vertical Launch Ports

They have quite the collection of aircraft! Love the Typhoon, remember seeing a fly over at Cosford a few years ago.. Immense power and made me drop my pint when the second one flew over Last edited by Lee Bradley; 17/07/18 4:03 PM.
