Is that you in the helmet?

No it's not, soz.

More details about the photo, note it's date. The astronaut is Jack Fazakerley; Jack, aged 10, was selected for the British space programme on height alone. Budget restraints meant the UK rocket was a quarter of the size it should have been.

The photo also shows the head of the programme, Jenny O'Brien (15, left) and the Chief Engineer waving Jack off. He's about to board the Bedford CA to travel to the launch site at Sefton. Note the police out-rider (who has momentarily lost control of his bike). When they reached the launch site they found that someone had knicked the rocket. The whole sorry escapade was quietly forgotten about.
