A 'SUPERSONIC' EVENING OF ADVENTURE

World Land Speed Record breaker Richard Noble OBE will be giving a fund-raising talk at the Beehive Centre in Honiton on the evening of Thursday 24th March 2022 in support of 1064 (Honiton) Squadron Air Training Corps.

Richard Noble has been pushing the boundaries of innovation and engineering for over four decades. In 1983, behind the wheel of Thrust 2, he reached 633mph, so bringing the world land speed record home, which had been held by the American's for over 12 years.

With the threat of a response from his rivals in America and always on the lookout for the next challenge, he went on to direct the Thrust SSC programme, a 100,000 hp twin jet engine car with the aim to break the sound barrier.

Driven by RAF Tornado pilot Wing Commander Andy Green, he returned to the Black Rock Desert, Nevada in October 1997, where Thrust SSC went supersonic with a new world record (which still stands today) of 763 mph. Under his leadership, Great Britain has retained the world land speed record for a staggering 38 years!

There will be an opportunity for guests to ask Richard questions in a Q&A session after his talk.

The evening, starts at 7:00pm.

A licensed bar is available for the purchase of beers, wines, soft drinks and snacks. Tickets are £11 for adults and £6 for aged 16 and under, which must be pre-booked from the Beehive
