The Ashton Reporter in England runs headline "By Rocket to the Moon". The article features a photograph of a young Eric Burgess standing next to the Manchester Interplanetary Society's launching rack for an experimental rocket. The article explains how the Society plans to launch an experimental liquid fuel rocket from "a croft behind Ashton New Road". It goes on to describe the MIS1a rocket will be too large for the local launch site and have to be launched from Clayton Vale.
