Re: Other Speed Record Breakers Are Available!
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...

Re: Pic of the Day
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 ?

Re: Pic of the Day
"Pies keeping warm" - they are not proper pies are they lads (and lasses) looking just like some small fruit cup cakes! Did they taste better when warmed with the odour of Jet A1?

Re: The Fred Thread
It would be a 'technical entry' if the last few sentences uttered by DMC have been proven by voice analysis to be something other than ending " ...I'm going .." or ".... I'm gone .." or anything similar.
Fast FACTS would need a review copy of abook to give a 'plug' to enthusiasts.

Re: Pic of the Day

Re: Pic of the Day

Re: Miss Britain III
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).
