leap into the unknown. )

Let’s hope not!

Is this not now referred to as the Absolute Land Speed Record where anything goes as long as it has 4 wheels and stays on the ground. Separate cat for 3 wheels and presumably wheel driven. I understand that there will be technological spin off but cannot help feeling that this might be of more immediate use from wheel driven attempts.

I haven’t been following it, Charlie, but I am, of course, interested in any engineering subjects and obtaining records for GB. However, I feel that the ALSR is mostly about keeping a vehicle on the ground and would be more interested in wheel driven attempts although presumably these are still going on?

Thanks for the link.

Thanks Mark12 I thought it was a strange question as the serial was partly visible.

Now the Spitfires.
This section was called Target London?

Taking part 17 Spitfires and, well, no Hurricanes!

So let’s count them all out, well actually, while out and back again as well. Some of the pictures are not of the quality I would normally post, especially of TD248, but for the sake of completeness all are included.

AR213 painted as P7308.

Thanks for that Charlie. Not crown copyright. Some have credits some not. Some are from Flight which are freely available for use from their website anyway. They are packed with wonderful photos and illustrations.

Hope to get the Spits uploaded today but number 17, one from the USA, has proved a bit camera shy, neither ‘er in doors or self obtained a shot of the sort of quality I would normally post but for the sake of completeness I think I will have to.

Its quite safe if you know what you are doing and careful. But never had a Hi vis jacket.

Ah you need the Hi Vis so that the prop can see you coming. Is there such a thing as “quite safe IF……”?

I think he should have been wearing a helmet, goggles and ear defenders. Just saying.:D
