Stefan - talk to Chris about those rivets, we had a chat about how many and the guys worked it out that there were a little more than 10,000. however, that was in October 2013, so there may have been some "slimming" done since then.
Just love your imagery. SOOOOOO very glad the project has you as it "visual historian" you grasp of the complex nature of the work and how to share it allows so many more people to truly understand the magnitude of this milestone in land speed racing. Next time I come over, we're going for a pint!
