With the minimum of research, it should be easy to work out what this is fitted to in the picture

"By the time the missile has just cleared the launcher it is doing 400 mph. By the time the missile is 25 feet from the launcher it has reached the speed of sound (around 720 mph). Three seconds after launch, as the four boost rockets fall away, it has reached Mach 2.5 which is roughly 1,800 mph"

A superbly engineered missile, its name was borrowed by Richard Noble for the current World Land Speed record car which is destined to eventually reach 1000mph in South Africa having first set a new record in the region of 800mph. The project ran into financial difficulties after the test runs at Newquay and was bought out by a Yorkshire businessman and is now back on course. I am a founder member of the supporters club and have been involved since 2006. I won't put any pics here but if you are interested you can now find all the details at www.bloodhoundlsr.com. Plenty of good stuff on there especially Andy Green's contributions. If you are not aware Andy holds the current record from Thrust SSC and the entire Bloodhound car has been designed and built to fit and suit him.
