[SOC] SOC

[Paul Bartlett]

Hi All,

There is SOC and there is SOC but this must take the biscuit.

There is myth and urban myth but this one is true and made me laugh rather a
lot..

It is from a report from the London Sunday Telegraph. I'm trying to track
down a URL and will post it when I manage to find it.

A complete lunatic called Giuseppe Cannella has attached a turbojet engine
to a wheel chair and is attempting to break the wheel chair speed record.
The engine is made by Rolls-Royce and is about a foot long. Cruise missile
size I would guess. He's managed 65 mph on the runway at RAF Barkston Heath
in Lincolnshire so far but is attempting to improve the speed over the next
few days.

The wheelchair belongs to his mother-in-law.

Do I detect a sub-plot here?

Paul ;-)
