On its way to Farnborough, this Blackbird famously set a new record for New York to London in just under 1 hr 55 min and on departure, London to Los Angeles in 3 hrs 47.5 min. In 1976 the same aircraft exceeded 85,000ft. Now on display in the Udvar-Hazy Center, Washington-Dulles

My shot of this record-breaking machine at Farnborough gives more details. Set another speed record, this time transcontinental, on delivery flight to Air & Space Museum at Dulles on 6.3.90. View gives some measure of the wealth of exhibits on offer at the Udvar-Hazy Center
