Anyone who was fortunate enough to see the late Sammy Miller piloting the awesome Vanishing Point rocket FC should be very, very pleased with this news. Jets are great, and the UK is lucky enough to be graced by two fantastic (and very rapid) jet FCs, but rockets are just something else entirely. I have vivid memories of Vanishing Point sitting on the start line in total silence with a supreme air of menace about it, then WHOOSH! Three second quarter miles? Crazy!
