Avro Avian Rebuild

[bloodnok]

With all those engines you've got you'll be able to make one of these once you've finished the Avian!

I'm not a big fan of that sort of caper Bloodnok. Yes, in the past, there were aero engined specials that had their place in history and are worthy of preservation. However, to buy up rare engines, that are quite suitable for installation in airworthy historic aircraft, just to slam them in a motor car is not my cup of tea. I have no idea how these guys adequately cool these land borne Cirrus engines, especially with the hiding that they are given, since I have seen the result of an incorrectly baffled Cirrus in an aeroplane (basically, number two and three cylinders siezed).

Looking at the wheels and suspension/steering gear, this looks like some sort of special from the 1930's. Maybe a Brooklands racer. I wonder what it is.
But the Lotus Cortina in the backround, I had one exactly like that. Oh happy days!

That's the same one. I took my picture of it at Etretat in 2008.
