The operational mission design is six weeks' duration at a nominal orbital altitude of 300 nautical miles, with a crew of four men," according to the report. The weapons bay would hold "four winged weapons" that could be either launched or detached and parked on orbit. There are repeated references to the LRV launching weapons-carrying clusters.
It also mentions that the LRV would have required either a large, multi-stage booster rocket to achieve orbit or might eventually have made use of one of the then-in-development nuclear rockets - such as NERVA - which were tested but never flew.
Since nuclear rockets were never (for any number of reasons) developed to the point of building a production design, and since the number of Saturn boosters constructed for the Apollo program (10 Saturn I, 12 Saturn IB (+ 2 unused first sages), 15 Saturn V) is well known from, the LRV would not have had a launch vehicle, had it ever been built, which it wasn't. For this man to claim that a British version flew is just BS, not because the Brits couldn't have built it (they certainly could have) but because they've never had a launch vehicle of placing this or any other manned vehicle into space. If Britain had manned spaceflight capability they would have told the world - although they probably wouldn't have used a black project like this to advertise their capability.
