        Come on Wab... spill the beans - where you involved on this mad project or just get invited along to watch the launch. I say launch, but it could also be an unmitigated disaster given the TG team's recent explorations with exotically powered vehicles.

        This one is unmanned I gather - unhamstered even - just as well !

                      he was the one near the water jet cutter
                      if you'd have seen his feet you would have reconised his rigger boots

                        I saw him! and tweety pie (wabs dad).

                        Was impressed with the outcome! wab had kept telling me it was doomed for sure, as the rocketiers were knobs!
