Default British rocketeers with hard hats

This may go back to the time when the Models.Rockets newsgroup was the main source of rocketry related conversation. Anyway...

Does anyone remember the group of (I think) British rocketeers who were famous for running around with hard hats claiming they were going to do amazing things? Every time I read about someone or some group doing something stupid, like launching them self in a steam powered rocket, I think about this group but can't remember exactly who they were.

Was it Steve Bennett and the Starchaser rocket?

Yup, that's it. Seems like it is still around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starchaser_Industries
