Can you still get 'oxygen bleach', and where from?
(This is a substance based on hydrogen peroxide, as opposed to the
usual sodium hypochlorite).
Ask at the old bailey :-)

Do you mean it was withdrawn from sale because it can be used to make
explosives? I didn't know that.
Sorry, no idea, I was just being silly.

There was a great kids book in the local library that mentioned that
hydrogen peroxide mixed with manganese dioxide was what powered some
WWII torpedoes. There was also a small projectile launcher experiment
using the two same materials on the same page.

Powered the Nazi rocket plane the Me163 and we used it in the 50's in
the blu steel rockets AFAIK
