Further to your article, you might like to know that I now have a write-up of this engine on my new website: http://www.motorbikeworld.org.uk/Vincent_Picador.

By the way, I also created the website that you include a link to as “There are a few more photos available here.”

I agree with you Todd — can’t imagine such a lovely piece of engineering riddled with .50 cal bullets and smashing into the ground.

One might think the exhaust ports would face forward to catch more and cooler air . . . but you would be wrong. Wonder if ducting solved the problem, or what?

Suddenly i feel a strong need for more toys.
A R/C plane with a Vincent should be a human right!
How can i explain to my wife that i need one of those?

I loved this article, and I’m with Paul, who said: “They probably failed to secure the contract because no one could bring themselves to shoot one of these things down.”
