Baildon Moor, 3rd November 2002

The weather forecast was awful, but we went up anyway. It was windy, but we still got some flying in. Later it began to rain and got colder, so we retired to the Old Glen House for refreshment. Attending were: Darren, Josh, Pete, Angela, Dave, David, and new faces Matthew, Neil & Nicky as well as Stephen (& friends/family), plus Richard Parkin of the WRS. Brian came to watch too. Pictures by Brian and Dave.

Left to right:
• Old and new faces, milling about
• Dave and Richard give an obsequious "reverse nod of the head" to the rocket gods

Left to right:
• Pete's Aerospace Speciality Products V2
• Angela plays "flight stat fascist"

Left to right:
• Juxtaposition of Polystyrene Plates, oh hang on it says "saucer" here, I thought we had a Turner entrant here for a moment
• Pete Hooks up the igniters to another saucer thingy whilst Richard does the "I'm very dejected dance"

Left to right:
• Richard drove many miles (including a couple of orbits of Bradford to gain escape velocity) to fly rockets with us and what did he bring to fly? A salad bowl
• This is not a golden snitch, it's more of a fluorescent (Hey look I can spell fluorescent!) yellow
• Josh looks on as Angela uses her finger to short the circuit of her launch system

Left to right:
• Pete lifts his left leg in astonishment at Richard's comment
• Darren finds the rain is not conducive to maximum rod sheen

Left to right:
• More obsequious here as Richard, high priest of salad bowls, simultaneously attempts to smite evil demons with his digital simulacrum of a Walther PPK
• Matthew launches his Astrocam as Pete, almost as though he knew something bad was about to happen, moves for cover
