Machine Building North - Concorde fun fact No 3

I'm not quite sure how to 'putt' this but it is alleged that a golfing world record was set aboard Concorde, when Madness singer Suggs tapped a ball which ran down the aisle. Although it only rolled for a few feet, in the few seconds it took to roll to a stop the ball had actually covered a total distance of more than 3 miles.
