Customers gallery

Welcome to our new customers gallery. I have been struggling a bit getting this page sorted, not being a web designer by trade, but please feel free to submit your rocketry pictures for addition to this page! It would be very helpful if you could email pictures that are ready for the web, rather than pictures with a 2MB file size. I seem to have managed to squeeze them a bit, but I think it was probably more by luck than judgement!! You can view the pictures in a larger size..I advise you to right click on the picture and select "open in new window".
