One Guy Fawkes night, a friend of mine turned up with his Airfix Saturn V stuffed to the gunwales with gunpowder. He had attached it to a launchrail, made form a plastic curtain rail, which we fixed to a wooden gatepost. Having lit the blue touchpaper and retired, we stood back to admire the launch - but all we saw was an enormous amount of orange flame shooting out of the underneath, and a Saturn V becoming gradually shorter as the bottom end melted and it slid back down the curtain rail. We abandoned it to its fate and went off for a pint. About an hour later we discovered that the gatepost was on fire...
