We received some new info on the rocket used with the Conger. It seems to be a variation on the "Motor, rocket, 5", Cordtex net, mkI", a rocket used to "tow a specially constructed net of Cordtex (Primacord) used for demolition purposes".

The proposed new designation for the Conger rocket was: "Motor, rocket, 5", no3 mkI" , but a drawing of the rocket engine says "Motor, rocket, 5", no3 mkII"

The drawing we have only shows a tube, and only seems to show the "motor". Has anyone got a picture of what the complete rocket would look like? Has anyone got more info on the Cordtex net rocket?

regards,

Alex

Alex. I don't have my copy of Landmattress in Canadian Service right now but believe that this is the rocket which was used. If I recall correctly, it was a naval rocket.

Chris,

The different types of rocket are confusing me, although it seems most of them share the same base/design. Are you able to scan some pictures of the rocket from the Land mattress manual? It would be really helpfull in our search.
