The firing of the biggest rocket in Britain for some 20 years will take place next month at the Aerohub, Newquay Cornwall Airport.

The hybrid rocket is being developed for the Bloodhound SuperSonic Car, which will attempt to reach 1,000mph (1,610Km/h) in 2014.

Newquay Airport is one of the few UK locations equipped to handle the test.

The Bloodhound team will conduct a number of experiments leading up to a high-power firing on 3 October.
