Just heard on the radio that the project has bee bought by a Yorkshire business man. I did expect the project to be saved, I’m just pleased it’s ataying in British hands.
And spend 90 million on wine, women & a very fast car & just fritter the rest away!If I won the the big big 100mill euros id 'invest' £25 million to keep it going. Id wanna drive though Fool and his money..
Yes I read that earlier today. HooorrraaayyyyyyIt's been reported that an engineering company MD has saved the bloodhound project by buying it for an undisclosed amount.

Car carre cart. Wheeled vehicle.I always thought the term "car" to be incorrect, it's a jet engine on wheels. It should only be described as a car if the engine drives the wheels that propel the vehicle IMHO.
Its a jet car.
Like the one Rover produced, only LOTS faster.
Wonder if all the original names will be left on the fin ? Both her in charge and myself had our names up there somewhere.
From what I have read, the names on the fin are to remain. This was from someone who used to work on the project...
