Model Forum / General / Rockets / March 2005Farewell, John Stewart of the Paisley Rocketeers Society
I posted something about this in uk.tech.rocketry, and thought I'd post here too. John Stewart, of the Paisley Rocketeers Society, died peacefully this Easter Monday afternoon. John was one of the founders of UK rocketry in the 20th Century. He will be fondly remembered, and sadly missed. This year would have been the 70th Anniversary of the Paisley Rocketeers Society. Regards, Kevin Cave. In article <pan.2005.03.28.20.29.09.539771@remove_this_scarygliders_remove_too.net> , > I posted something about this in uk.tech.rocketry, and thought I'd post > here too.

I never had the privilege of meeting John, but our NAR section's secretary corresponded with him a number of times over the years. He was also featured in Sport Rocketry and its predecessors a number of times. I'd have to go magazine-hunting at home, but I distinctly recall a picture of John with some of his multi-stage Aquajet rockets from sometime in the past 15-20 years.
