TEXUS is the program, not the rocket. Two different rockets have been used.

It is also the name used for the rocket configured as the one being discussed in this thread.
Here is some more interesting info...

Nice set of photos I hadn't seen before.
I did build a TEXUS/Skylark/Goldfinch with 24mm BT (single stage) a few years ago with DD. Did fly very well until a Quest motor with a bad noozle sent it horizontal into the woods never to be seen again.
Side note: The Skylark was to most used, number of launches, of any British rocket. It has been retired.
