Black Knight

Once we entered the chilly atmosphere of the bare concrete bunker, Wilson shivered and said he now understood why it was called the 'Cold War.'

The first thing we saw was a Black Knight Rocket, and W was full of questions:

W: 'Might it go off while were here?'
Me: 'No, absolutely not!'
W: 'Even if I accidentally knock it over?'
Me: 'Make sure you don't accidentally knock it over, or we'll both be in trouble!'
W: 'I expected it to be bigger!'
Me: 'This is just an eighth-scale model — the real rockets were WAY bigger than this!'
W: 'Why is it called a "Black Knight" when it's red and green? Does it just go BANG, or do coloured stars fly out the end like on Bonfire Night? Can you get Cold War Roman Candles and Catherine Wheels?'
Me: 'Let's have a look at this thing over here…'

Tomorrow is the first of the month, so The Bees, Polly and Billi, will be guesting on the blog. Find out what 'this thing over here' is the following day!
