Black Arrow!

My boss - "Scotland's Space Minister" according to Good Morning Scotland - was leading a debate for the Government on the tremendous opportunities for Scotland's fast-growing space industry. The legendary Black Arrow came to Parliament on a flatbed lorry to lend some romance and glamour to the event. Black Arrow was the UK's first successful space rocket to launch a satellite. It lay in the Australian desert for 40 years till Skyrora, a modern satellite launching company based in Penicuik, brought it back.
