PERSONAL ROCKETRY
HIGH POWER ROCKETRY FLEET
Early in 2000, following a year of not launching many rockets, and much teasing from fellow rocketeers, I decided to start logging what rockets and launches I've made. Whilst I've not included many older launches (because I've forgotten the details), or rockets that crashed so hideously, that they needed to be picked up with black bin bags, hopefully, I should have at least logged most of my more recent launches here.
