Side on footage has been put on fb by Triumph Global. Does not help with identifying the stability of the streamliner. Guy says it was all OK. If it was not for Guy this would be just 'another' USA speed bid :lol: Folk present on the salt ahead of Speedweek have reported seeing the 'van' flash by at...

The picture of Stew at the control console during a static test start up shows a very serious expression. I was wondering if he would have preferred a Martin Baker seat, rather than the office secretary chair you provided Bill ?

Probably a bit late for a BBP filing and storage system with a drawing record log book. My first summer vacation job during my degree course introduced me to such...

Hmm - does this mean we've built it all the wrong shape? The K7 in those pictures doesn't look like what we've made. Clearly 34 years in the water distorted something Bill .................... but whatever shape it is, a 'K7' can take part in a proving trial on Coniston Water ............ (almost).
