    At 1 a.m., the helicopters began departing in dense fog at two-minute intervals.

    The third aircraft to depart, a BH206B-3 model serial number 2338 with Aircraft registration number N16933

    The CN7 (Campbell–Norris 7) was built by Motor Panels in Coventry, and was completed by the spring of 1960, and was powered by a Bristol-Siddeley Proteus free-turbine (turboshaft) engine of 4,450 shp (3,320 kW).

    The car had 4 wheel drive, through 52 inch Dunlop wheels / tyres, air brakes as well as all round inboard disc brakes.

    The Bristol-Siddeley Proteus was the Bristol Aeroplane Company's first successful gas-turbine engine design, a turboprop that delivered over 4,000 hp (3,000 kW). The Proteus was a two spool, reverse flow gas turbine. Because the turbine stages of the inner spool drove no compressor stages, but only the propeller, this engine is sometimes classified as a free turbine. The engine, a Proteus 705, was specially modified to have a drive shaft at each end of the engine, to separate fixed ratio gearboxes on each axle.

    Goodwood, 1960[edit] Brakes consisted of inboard Girling disc brakes at all four wheels, hydraulically controlled with a back up pneumatic system operated from compressed air reservoirs. The brake rotors measured 16 3/8 inches in diameter and were capable of operating up to a maximum temperature of 2,200 degrees F. Additional braking was provided by powered air flaps that extended out from the rear of the vehicle.
