Andy Green Joins Windjet Supporters Club
|
Andy Green, who
piloted
Richard Noble's Thrust SSC to over 760mph in 1997, visited the
Windjet
display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed over the weekend. Green,
the first
(and only) man on the planet to break the sound barrier on land,
talked
at length with Richard Jenkins, Windjet's Pilot, and
was
given a tour of the vehicle. |
| Jenkins
commented,
"It's great to know that Windjet holds an appeal to
established
speed record holders like Andy - even if he is used to travelling six
times
faster than Windjet! Andy seemed very interested and wished us
every
success in claiming the Wind Powered title for Britain to sit
alongside
his own Speed Record." |
As a confirmation of
his
support of the project, Green agreed to have his photograph placed on the
Windjet
main sail, along with all the other Windjet
supporters.
