Didn't they have a stand at the "Festival of Britain" in 1951?

Don't know 'cos I didn't go to it

I did, but can't remember the stand.

I do remember a demo of radar signals being bounced off the moon, and
the Dome of Discovery etc.

Space research has come a long way in fifty odd years.

I can't say I remember it either, but then, there was rather a lot of
it. I rather liked the Skylon, but me gran wouldn't let me take it home.
