A race...

From our local rag
Highworth restaurateur in runway race of a lifetime (From Swindon Advertiser)

not sure about 0-100 in 6 secs if its stock. SC maybe?

Depends very much on what distance they are racing over (I didn't see that mentioned). The Jet Provost is only a 1950s trainer.

Oh no, it's in the Swindon advertiser. They will have fact checked anything a publicity hungry takeaway owner will have said. Obviously. Doh. I expect it will also get to escape velocity given a long enough strip.

Note to self: must stop reading posts and replying to them after some sherberts.

His 'fast jet' competition is a Jet Provost T5. I trained on Jet Provosts (though never the T5); the T3 and T4 were known as 'the constant speed variable noise machine'. My money's on the C63...
