Thanks for mentioning this. I had never heard of it. I love how its display in the London Science Museum reminds me of a Bond movie.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Arrow:

> Prior to the cancellation of Black Arrow, NASA had offered to launch British payloads for free; however, this offer was withdrawn following the decision to cancel Black Arrow.

Ouch. Sounds like bait and switch.
