What a windy day. I brought my son Tom along with me as he was desperate to lauch my D class altitude attempt.
Well the windy dropped slightly and I thought "Why Not" so I quickly prepped the rocket, MArk RSO'd it and Tom launched it for me while I took some video as proof for UKRA S&T. It launched well but the upper winds were greater and it drifted into the next valley. It took a while to locate it in the scrub (about an hour) but when I found it I could hear the altimeter beeping out it's height. 1274ft. A new UK D class record.
Just after Tom and myself left the site, Paul launched his yellow peril and that to drifted off into the next valley, luckerly Paul found it after a very long walk. Pictures and Video in the gallery.
