Nice pictures @Frank v B and @Andy Hoffer !

Thanks Guy.

Interesting to see Andy's photo of Simon's Provost maiden flight.  It looks so realistic.  Note the elevator is in the full "up" position for a flight that left my hand at 6.5 foot altitude and gently bellied in about 100 feet later.  The solution is obvious: either get more power or get a much taller launcher....on stilts.

@Frank v B is being far too modest!  The elegance and poise of his launches of @sihinch 's Provost  were consistent throughout the extended time series, giving Simon ample opportunity to test a whole suite of techniques for lighting off the scale afterburner, which succeeded on the last flight.  A perfect prelude to the Victoria Day fireworks that night!
