New 2013 Ford Mustang: History but does it have pedigree?

Bloodhound SSC: Designed to break the 1000 mph land speed record

The helmet to breathe at 1000mph in a car

I've also just been to see how CamLock is getting on with the challenge of trying to fit a breathing mask inside a full-face race helmet.

CamLock supplies the Royal Air Force with state-of-the-art masks for our new Typhoon fighters, and the good news is that their low-profile "ADOM" mask fits perfectly inside my Arai helmet. This will guarantee me a supply of clean air throughout every run in Bloodhound, and protect me from any dust in the cockpit, or smoke and fumes if something overheats.

This is a unique solution - as far as I'm aware, no-one has fitted a high-performance mask inside a conventional full-face racing helmet before now.
