Bugatti 49


W. Boddy, Continental Sports Cars,  G.T. Foulis, 1951

Obviously a serious racer, Mrs. Billie Clarke tackles a Prescott Speed Hillclimb in a Bugatti model 49. Year unknown...

 In my opinion, not the nicest styling of the lot...

Cambro Cyclecar

  This single seat runabout was produced by the Central Aircraft Co. of Kilburn North London after WW1.  I don't know how it could be of any simpler construction, featuring a 200 cc 2 stroke twin Johnson motorwheel for "power" and did not even have a reverse gear.

   It does not seem to have been a big seller.

Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 upside down


 No explanation given for this accident in Texas. Curtiss had an order to build these aircraft in the US but only one was completed before war's end. A further 56 were assembled later on.

A lovely exploded view from Lawrence Watts.
