Cannot wait to see the flying lady on the nose of the blood hound...
Finally RR have joined the party after all these years of free advertising, yes a bit cynical but I hope they are pumping in money and expertise.
Good luck to all involved witht he project.

I worked at the pyestock gas turbine test facility during the late 90's when we were running development/prototype EJ200s in the test cell. Amazing place to work. I'll be following bloodhound closely, feel i played my small part in the development of the EJ200.
I did a small amount of work with the testing of the blisk as an apprentice gsd2000 said:

Surely the guy behind the rocket on Bloodhound was picked on the strength of his moustache alone!.I was just wondering how the engineers were picked for this project as its an amazing project to be part of
I've been keeping a close eye on the whole project, it's absolutely outstanding and makes me feel proud to be British.
I might actually join the club to keep up to date, plus it helps to support the project
Quick update whilst I have literally 2 seconds.
All of the upper chassis metallic ribs are in, and I'm please to say, fit first time.......(otherwise I'd probably have been looking for a new job as there's some pretty expensive parts there!!!)
