The BBC had this:
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20150824-how-a-nazi-rocket-could-have-put-a-briton-in-space
Basically, Britain, using Wenhrer von Braun's designs, had a practical rocket made by the British Interplanetary Society's Ralph Smith. The design was made to be reusable, meaning a rocket could be used for multiple missions. The article also mentions it's great spying capacity.
The article states that Britain could of been in space 10 years before the Americans, with an almost identical rocket- but one that is reusable, which I would speculate would greatly reduce the cost.
The main problem is that the Ministry of Supply would not fund this as Britain didn't have much cash. So I would presume that Britain either needs to convince the PM's government that this is as important as the Nuclear Bomb (or at least alert them to this project's existence, as this was dealt with as an internal Ministry of Supply matter) or suddenly Britain has money to fund this sort of stuff.
Is it possible that the US shares it's secrets on the bomb, hence allowing Britain to spend money elsewhere? Or Britain for do a technology trade (jet tech) or to have this space project joint Anglo-American (with Wenhrer von Braun as chief scientist possibly)? If such a joint project occurred would the world be more advanced in terms of the space race?
What would be the most realistic scenario?
