Fairey Delta 2. The first jet aircraft to exceed 1,000 mph in level flight.

Around the time I shot this (few months back) I had just purchased a special edition T2 DVD. I got really stoked on the whole judgement day explosion scene and that's basically where the color toning came from lol.
Added a little more info about the shots on my blog

Built 1956
The FD2 was designed purely as a supersonic research aircraft and the first of the pair ‘WG774’ took the world airspeed record on 10th March 1956 with a speed of 1132mph. WG774 was later rebuilt as the BAC.221 and is now on display at Yeovilton.
WG777 first flew on 15th February 1956 and carried out 429 flights, mainly from RAE Bedford, before her retirement in July 1966. After this she initially moved to the Station museum at RAF Finningley, but after a period in store at RAF Topcliffe she came to Cosford in April 1973. She has remained on display at Cosford ever since and is currently in the ‘Test Flight’ hangar.

The third generation Honda Civic Type R is based on the eighth series Honda Civic and was offered on two different chassis FD2 for the Japanese market and FN2 as the European version, with differing styling. The Japanese FD2 selling in Japan as a four door Saloon, rather than the three door FN2 sold in the UK and other export markets. The FD2 Type R was bigger, wider and heavier than the EP3 Type R. The wheelbase grew 101.2 ins during high speed cornering. The Japanese model's engine power output is also higher than the European versions with 222hp. Exterior wise, the front bumper is wider and different from the standard Civic designed aerodynamically. The rear bumper features a diffuser built into the bumper and a large rear wing completes the aero package. Inside, the trademark black and red bucket seats are no longer made by Recaro as with previous versions but designed in-house by Honda.
The European and Internation type R (FN2) comes only as a three door hatchback, and uses a different chassis and internal layout (notably tank placement below the driver's seat), and internal layout (notably tank placement below the driver's seat), Powered by a 198hp 1998cc VTEC engine which will was retired in October 2010 due to failing to meet the forthcoming Euro V emission regulations. It is estimated that a total of over 12,000 Civic Type R's will have been sold by the end of production. These measure will also cause the demise of the Alfa Romeo Brera 3.2 V6, the Ford Focus ST, Mazda RX 8, and the VW 5.0ltr. V10 turbo Diesel.
The Type R GT trim includes dual-zone climate control (Left:right independent), rain-sensing windscreen wipers, refrigerated glove box, automatic headlights with dusk sensor, front fog lights, power-folding wing mirrors, cruise control, front and rear curtain airbags. It is finished in the same four colours as the standard FN2, and a new colour called Deep Sapphire Blue Pearl added to the colours offered.
Seemslike the men in grey suits found out we were having fun.

The Honda Civic Type R is the high performance version of the Civic developed and produced by Honda since September 1997. The first Civic Type R was the third model to receive Honda's Type R badge (after the NSX and Integra). Type R versions of the Civic typically feature a lightened and stiffened body, specially tuned engine, and upgraded brakes and chassis, and are offered only in five- or six-speed manual transmission. Like every other Type R models, red is used in the Honda badge background to give it a special sporting distinction and to separate it from other models.

In the late 1940s Britain was trailing far behind in supersonic aircraft design. To try to retrieve matters the Ministry of Supply issued a specification for a supersonic research aircraft, and Fairey set about meeting this with a delta-winged aircraft designed for investigation into flight and control at transonic and supersonic speeds.
The final design was a single-seat, delta-winged aircraft powered by a Rolls-Royce Avon engine with an afterburner. The aircraft was named the Fairey Delta 2, or FD2. To improve the pilot’s forward view during landing, taxiing and take-off, the cockpit and nose section could be hinged downwards by ten degrees. A similar feature was used on Concorde.
Fairey test-pilot Peter Twiss flew the first FD2, WG774, on its maiden flight on 6 October 1954. On the 10 March 1956 an attempt was made on the World Air Speed Record, which Twiss broke by more than 483kph (300mph). The new record was 1820kph (1132mph) – quite an achievement considering the old record had only been set the previous year by an American F100 Super Sabre.
This aircraft is the second of only two FD2s built.
