September 11-18. Prepare to toss another log on the radiator, top up the [“person of the appropriate sex” – Ed.], cuddle the cognac and read all about it here.

“The lack of marauding Zuckerbots makes this a much better option than silly old Facebook!” – TV's Dr Suzannah Lipscomb, yesterday.

OK, I'll start… Just seen this on Professor Sir Viscount Chief Timelord Jun Nogami's blog:

Wind tunnel testing at Western University

Pretty pictures of Toronto Penniless Student Oaves mucking about with Double Eta Reverse Prime ^w^w^w^w Titan in someone else’s wind tunnel.

Quick vid here: https://youtu.be/CMTsdjlnqiA of today's fairly successful testing of seventyseven at Elvington. 38mph max with the kevlar fairing on, and still accelerating at the braking point.

Hopefully we can get back here Sun 10th July if there's anyone else who's up for helping along with  Barney and Andrew (and poss Ian S). There'll be lots of silly motorised things going down the runway again, and if you're really lucky there'll be a human powered monowheel to try (yes really)

For them as is interested, the current-ish list of runners and riders is here: Clicky http://www.ihpva.org/whpsc/entrants-2022.htm

Up at stupid o'clock tomorrow to get to Thiefrow for a late-morning flight.  Publication of the World-Famous Automatic Diary should commence Friday morning for the UK viewer, assuming Nice Mr Biden allows me into his country and the Internets work.

Russ, LSBU's Barney Townsend and me have all been admitted to USAnia, where it is hot. Or at least the bit I'm in is. And the queues at both US Immigration and the Rental Car Center (sic) were epic, and I'm aching all over and hate everybody. Night night!
