Fastest man on earth in Rustington
CURRENT world land speed record holder, Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green was in Rustington to give a lecture at the Princess Marina House, the RAF Benevolent Fund's respite care home.
Andy spoke about driving Richard Noble's Thrust SSC, in which in 1997, he set the world's first and only supersonic land speed record at an astonishing 763 mph, driving literally 'faster than a speeding bullet'.
After setting the outright land speed record, he went on to drive the JCB Dieselmax car in 2006.
