Hello, I'm thinking about TL that will be about British space program and I thought about this idea:

Fighter pilot before World War has a friend in BIS or is space program enthusiast. During war he became famous flying ace known in all Britain as example of bravery and nobility. After war he became an air marshal and still it's known across Empire. After launching Prospero from Woomera and shutting down this project he became strong supporter of the space program - he has some powerful friends or is skilled in diplomacy and manage to convice British citizens and politicians to space program. Or even he just go to RAF and proposes them heavy strategic rocket that may carry warheads or orbital manned capsule.

Also I need help from someone who knows much more about British space program than me. Engineers' or leaders names or plans. Also my English is weak so I will be grateful for every helpful hand in grammar.
