  • Investigation Into the the Accident of Richard Hammond
    Investigation into the accident of Richard Hammond Accident involving RICHARD HAMMOND (RH) On 20 SEPTEMBER 2006 At Elvington Airfield, Halifax Way, Elvington YO41 4AU SUMMARY 1. The BBC Top Gear programme production team had arranged for Richard Hammond (RH) to drive Primetime Land Speed Engineering’s Vampire jet car at Elvington Airfield, near York, on Wednesday 20th September 2006. Vampire, driven by Colin Fallows (CF), was the current holder of the Outright British Land Speed record at 300.3 mph. 2. Runs were to be carried out in only one direction along a pre-set course on the Elvington runway. Vampire’s speed was to be recorded using GPS satellite telemetry. The intention was to record the maximum speed, not to measure an average speed over a measured course, and for RH to describe how it felt. 3. During the Wednesday morning RH was instructed how to drive Vampire by Primetime’s principals, Mark Newby (MN) and CF. Starting at about 1 p.m., he completed a series of 6 runs with increasing jet power and at increasing speed. The jet afterburner was used on runs 4 to 6, but runs 4 and 5 were intentionally aborted early. 4. The 6th run took place at just before 5 p.m. and a maximum speed of 314 mph was achieved. This speed was not disclosed to RH. 5. Although the shoot was scheduled to end at 5 p.m., it was decided to apply for an extension to 5:30 p.m. to allow for one final run to secure more TV footage of Vampire running with the after burner lit.

  • Our Annual Review
    ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. Zechariah 4:6 Annual Review September 2014 – August 2015 Celebrating what God’s been doing among us… in pictures, numbers and stories www.thesanctuarycentre.org/whereworldandworshipmeet Together, this year we prayed Every day, Monday-Friday, at 9am, 1pm and 5pm (and quite a lot in between) for 42 weeks of the year in a way that was worshipful, thankful, hopeful, united, outward-focused, varied, creative, and led by what God was laying on our hearts. Our minds were blown by digging deeper into God’s character and into scripture… … and our hearts, lives and confidence to go without fear were transformed in and through his presence. We welcomed quite a few new pray-ers into our local 40-50 strong cross-church community and grew in sharing a deep sense of community with old faithfuls and newcomers alike. And we involved many more beyond our walls in the rhythm by putting the trusty white-board up online every day! Our monthly special foci on: environmental justice (1st) and 21 for freedom – trafficking (21st) have seen us grow in understanding, weep with those who weep – and marvel at the change God is bringing. And peace was on our hearts and in our prayers again and again in daily rhythms and at our special peace vigil last November This amazing picture was painted by Barbara Macnish during our night of prayer – Awaken the Dawn – for the nation just before the elections And she wasn’t the only one to leave prayer debris behind after a significant night of prayer… And together, we’ve been part of hundreds of amazing answered prayers at personal, community, national and international levels These highlights are just the tip of the iceberg but we especially loved: • The incredible breakthrough and specific tie in of timings and events that were involved in our prayer for the new Iris Ministries centre for vulnerable and trafficked boys opening in Cambodia.
