Truly a man of 'many parts', including the 'mini-Dart' which he designed (an article
here shamelessly linked from minimarcos.org.uk), and his involvement in trying to break the land-speed record:
"Dizzy Addicott, who had announced plans for a stab at Breedloves 407mph record in the 60's, with a very Spirit of America-like vehicle that he planned to build using a Swift fighter as the basis of the project"
and, probably ok to tell now
"Friend of mine (Dizzy Addicott) was the test pilot on the VC10. Back sometime in the '60's he was sent over to the US to fly one back that had some problem. He bought the flight crew back with him & the wagon dragons were in the *self loading cargo* compartment. At some point over the Atlantic he decided to do a barrel roll.... no problems with the crew in the office, but they didn't mention the plan to the girls in the back.... they were a bit freaked out by the move & the subsequent drop of several thousand feet"
As JF says, not a good time right now......................
