My Father came back from Canada to where he had been evacuated to relatives in `45. He went home to Petworth in W Sussex and used to watch and listen to them as they flew along the Downs to Southampton and Portsmouth where the engine would cut out, there would be a silence then an explosion. Day and night the planes at Tangmere would go up and try to tip them off course.
were they pulsejets.

They are not solid rockets, they are tracking flares used on test flights. The aircraft is launched on a hydrogen peroxide powered piston ramp.
