Richard Noble, and much of the Thrust/BH team, are a throwback to a different era, when Great Britain was a leader on the world stage, men were men and "diversity" meant wearing brown shoes instead of black. I once spent a very informative hour listening to Ron Ayers talking about the challenges in designing Thrust SSC and, despite understanding very little of what was said,it was patently obvious Ron was a truely gifted individual, and that we'd benefit greatly from a few more like him. I personally have a lot of time for their exploits and am quite sure they will either achieve their objectives, or die trying!
My very best wishes to them all!
