plenty of areas down here in Australia to run your record. best of luck!

I noticed the webpage along with your social media has all disappeared. Hopefully the project hasn’t been cancelled already.

Great job everyone, thanks for the video, brings back memories of being out in the desert in '97 !

[@Project-Air]

Good to see!

Getting a WSR/LSR machine bolted together is probably the easy bit, if SSC and Bloodhound are any example! Fingers crossed you can reach the water, and that you can complete enough runs to pursue and grab the record.

I hope this project is going to have sort of full authority automated trim system. Historically water speed record attempts are just expensive ways to die.

High speed and water is a dangerous business. Just ask Donald Campbell. I’ll be interested in seeing their design for the boat,and where they plan to run it.

Well done on getting the engine out of hibernation….with aim of reaching 400mph, is there anywhere in the uk suitable to run the record attempts? If not…where is the most likely venue? Best Regards

It’s such a shame about bloodhound after all that work, no one in the uk is interested in engineering achievements it doesn’t pay the shareholders.
