As far as F1 goes has there ever been greater than Juan Manuel Fangio
Think you’ve hit the nail on the head there, fascinating reading. I see similarities with Chuck Yeager.

I’ve not heard of anything down under
You’re right Steve, sorry to cast any dispersions on Oz. What was in the back of my mind was the boondoggle called Canberra International Airport and the $8.8 million necessary to upgrade a runway to accommodate the likes of President Bush. You can see the connection.:D

She did. She was to be a floating university and had just been completed when several fires took hold. Not sure if she is still there though. She made a cameo appearance in a bond film IIRC?
Answers to both questions.:)
During the conversion however the vessel was gutted by a fire that broke out at several different places onboard, believed to be caused by arson. The ship toppled in shallow water in Hong Kong harbor on 9 January 1972. The wreckage was scrapped on the spot in 1974-1975, before the project could ever be truly realised.
The wreck was featured in the 1974 James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, as a covert headquarters for MI6.
Following her scrapping, the largest passenger ship in active service was the SS France, which was longer but smaller than the Queen Elizabeth.

Saw it twice this morning over Baiersbronn, the Do.128-6 Skyservant D-IBUF. This is an experimental plane for weather testing and sampling operated by the Technical University of Braunschweig.
