The image was taken at the media and VIP event at Newquay airport. The Bloodhound Super Sonic car was put to test for the first time in the UK. It exceeded 200MPH. Later, in South Africa, the team hope to achieve 1000MPH. This test run was a huge success and one of the largest media events in Cornwall's history.
