Record Breaking Greenbird at the Science Museum
Yesterday, I collected the Greenbird from the shippers yard in Southampton after it’s long journey home. Built in Thailand, tested in Australia and America and now home in England, it is a well travelled machine.
Safely back in one piece, the Greenbird will now have its first opportunity to be seen by the British public at the Science Museum next week in London. I will be there from Tuesday 4th to Thursday 6th (11am -1pm & 2pm – 4pm each day), so I would be delighted to talk you though it in more detail if you were able to make the journey to see it in person.
Following this, it heads to the Ecotech centre at Swaffham, Norfolk and will be in display from Monday 10th onwards.
My next mission is the ice record challenge this winter in Montana, USA. First freeze is usually around early December so this time I will be there ahead of schedule, ready and waiting!
Great news, I’m looking forward to seeing Greenbird either at the Science Museum or if I can’t get the time off at Swaffham. Lets hope the ice conditions are good this year.

That’s a shame I was outside the science museum on the 2nd of August If I had known then that Greenbird was there I would have popped in to see it. Well done on the record 126 Mph I thought I had done well the other week when I managed 46.4 Mph in my kite buggy on Pembrey sands.

This achievement is a bit too fast for the world right now. Jenkins’ achievement with Greenbird is great, as was Iron Duck’s. The significances go beyond the mere phenomenal speed. It will become clear, sooner rather than later.
