We probably crossed paths. This Aussie didn't get to Boscombe Down until 1955. By then the FD2 had its own little hangar down the taxiway from the weighbridge hangar presumably to keep it under better cover and to isolate the volatile fuel for the rocket..
Saw some of Peter's spectacular rocket assist take offs.
Trub flew with me a few times in the second protype Valiant 215 related to Super Sprite. Did an AUW measured take off with two Sprites firing for about 50 seconds and before dropping off the Sprites a main wing spar came apart.
That was the end of 215 and the start of the fleet's phase out due metal fatigue.
I should buy another lottery ticket!!
