500 knots + at 50 feet over the north sea in a Jaguar T2. That was pretty cool.

200mph+ at 10 feet in the Snowdon National Park - in the police helicopter!
Egg whisks, I'd never go in one voluntarily. If god had intended for rotary wing flight to happen he'd have made the ground less solid

130mph - straight down
Until I pulled the string - did it once - never again - never fall out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft

Fastest in the Maser: 69.9mph (obviously!). Fastest in anything: 1500mph while sipping Champagne ...

220 down the Mulsanne on a pre test day 20 or so years ago!
Easy... until you had to work out how to brake from 180 mph into the hairpin!

The opening was delayed because one of the test guys died 'flying it' - last year! They have a small zipwire which you acclimatise to before being invited to the bibbie. They drive you up the quarry in a truck to the starting point.
It is configured for your weight, age and wind speed. All three have to be in the zone before they let you fly it. Take a GPS to check your speed. Record so far: 105mph.

My 11 & 13 year old nieces went on it last week, they loved it. Not so sure about their Dad and their mother just said No Way!!
