Had a quick look at the new Buttler book last night, saw that I've been included in the acknowledgments, bit chuffed about that ---

On the way:


An interesting looking bunch there JCF  :thumbsup:

Couldn't wish for a better writer for the water speed record book than Leo Villa. Luckily one Brunel's masterpieces is only 30 odd miles from me, Mrs_PR19 and I often go and marvel at it.

I'm advising Izzy on his plans for fitting hydraulic steering to the SS Great Britain here....  ;D

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

It's repro copy of the Times from the day the ship was launched apparently.

Isambard grasped  the concept of tilting trains, but he couldn't quite figure out how ultra long wings  came into the story.
