Just a heads up!!

Some of you will know that I have been involved in both the stupendous Railton; Man Of Speed biography, by Karl Ludvigsen, as well as writing a book on the jet boat Crusader, designed by Railton for John Cobb.

Part of my research will be in "Drain The Oceans" on National Geographic channel in the USA, on September 16th, then hopefully on British TV not long after.

I am not allowed to say what form this broadcast will take.

Secondly, during research, I discovered Railton had designed a successor to Crusader, to prove his concept, and got as far a having a test model built. This model is now with Richard Noble, who is planning to run a copy of the model, complete with jet engine,
