Plus you could actually go on one if you had few quid, you're not getting on a harrier too easily. But none of this would have been possible without the British genius that was Sir Frank Whittle.......and as far as planes are concerned don't forget the TSR-2, one of the most promising aircraft ever and the f****n labour government cancelled it and forever handed the advantage to the Yanks, some things never change, dickheads.
Gosh TN - we're all blushing down here in Coventry.
First you post up Thrust SSC - much of the project done in our fair city - Thrust SSC and Thrust 2 both residing in our motor museum (BTW, I'm off down there tonight with a spray can of Bronze paint to finish the job and cover that black undercoat).
Now you're bigging up Sir Frank Whittle a famous son of the city !
The closest primary school to work is Frank Whittle - named in his honour and, outside our motor museum (housing both Thrust Vehicles and the Thrust Simulator) are the Whittle Arches erected in his honour.
... and what with being the centre of the, once great, British motorcycle industry ....
..... and now I'm wondering what's happened to me - a Berkshire boy waxing lyrical about Coventry - I must have lived here too long!
....what's going on here then? Surely some mistake.
