Re: Other Speed Record Breakers Are Available!

Spoke to Tony Fahey recently , he pulled out this photo. Thought you might like it.

Re: January 2017- Displaying K7
OK if Nigel is brave enough, I would also like to see BB. I don't mind the flack that will come my way I'm a big boy. I would like to see how the heck Mike fixed little holes like the one with the 5p piece in, so for me, it would be worth the ear ache. On the 'anniversary debate'. How about having a...

Re: The Vulcan XH558 & General Aviation Thread

Re: Technical Talk
I have a note in my files that 'blacklead' was used to reduce friction on some record breakers, unfortunately the note doesn't name which boats.
