Jack and list,

The UK 200 mph Club has yet to be launched (and the Racing Green hats made)
although the aims and objectives have been set out.  Its a job that would
take off more easily if we had an event or series of events such as they do
at Maxton for land based attempts with cars.  We have events for bikes and
boats each year.  Membership would be back dated to 1929 for historical
reasons.

Membership to date would be 7 car drivers, 6 bike riders, 1 boat pilot (as
we include water records).  Each having achieved records to National
British standards.  Also included would be one 300 mph chapter member and
one discretionary member (who went supersonic but could not safely run on a
UK airfield at representative speed!).  Possibly a few honorary members,
who whilst going over 200mph did not set records in the UK.

Malcolm Pittwood, Derby, England.
