Flight of the Commuter
Dateline 1970: The British record-breaking land speed runs of The Commuter, Britain's first nitro-guzzling Fuel Dragster, which topped a remarkable 260mph over the flying kilometre, seem implausible. Even more amazing to contemplate is the idea that a hastily modified dragster could wrest the British record from Sir Malcolm Campbell's purpose-built Bluebird -- and then retain it for some 30-plus years.
