COVENTRY Transport Museum celebrated its 10,000th visitor since reopening 18 months ago.

The 4D Land Speed Record Simulator at the museum originally launched in 2015 and ended up closing for three years with covid, and then repoened again in February 2023.

The simulator offers an immersive experience that allows visitors to feel what it was like when Wing Commander Andy Green broke the sound barrier in 1997, driving the Thrust SSC at a record-breaking 763 mph.

The museum venue manager Matt mullen said: “The response from visitors has been overwhelmingly positive.

“We’re thrilled to see so many people excited by the history and technology behind these incredible machines.

“The simulator not only honours past achievements but also inspires a new generation to explore the possibilities of engineering.”
