World Air Speed Record
A Memory of Elmer.
Peter Twist, British test pilot flew over Elmer in 1955 and 1956.
I remember our family looking up and seeing, at a height of seven miles, an aircraft flying. Then waiting for the sonic BOOM. He flew between RAF Ford airbase to the Solent in the record attempt.
My uncle who owned the Elmer Close home ,(wooded bungalow) had a black Humber car like the photo.
