On 26. January 2018 Peter Bishop met up with old friend Richard Noble OBE, who at one time held the World Land Speed Record as the fastest man in the world. His team visited us in the early days at Hamburg, and he is a living role model with a list of great achievements.

On leaving Richard, he generously gave me several books on the Bloodhound project. In the sleeve of the largest book, I was effectively ordered to make a go for a “Rocket SpacePlane” (if you see from the News from May 2017, I was already in the Xcor Rocket SpacePlane)
