Thanks. She is rather boxy, not as pretty as the "pocket" carriers she replaces (but they were designed for VTOL/VSTOL aeroplanes e.g. Sea Harriers). The launch was moving quite fast and this camera does not have interchangeable lenses or a motor wind so it was a question of wait for the moment and fire the shutter having metered and adjusted the aperture to the obtain the highest shutter speed possible. Just luck really.
