Almere, 20 September, 2008 - Back on the usual DRRA launch site near Almere Strand, this postponed launch was a quite good one. Fine weather and many launches, what other can a rocketeer wish for?
Unfortunately I don't have all the names of the rockets and their builders. If you know the name of a rocket and/or builder, please mail the NAVRO
For those interested in more pictures of their rocket(s), feel free mail to the NAVRO , as I have more pictures of most rockets. Besides that, I have both these and the ones shown below in a better resolution.
