Set up for parachute-jumping practice?

so did Dixi use the later 2 seater tourer shape before Austin, seeing that is still a SWB long scuttle... ?

The sign translates, I think, as "Not ready to go" . I wonder why.....
Is that some sort of power take off between the back wheels?

17-year-old Gordon England is mentioned in this - http://www.glidingheritage.org.uk/docume...art1v2.pdf In 1909 it must have been one of his earliest flights - and is recorded as the world's first soaring flight i.e. staying aloft by using rising air. No wonder the bodywork of his cars was aviation-inspired.

They're putting a lot of faith in those little stools with the spindly legs! What is the bucket for under the middle of the car? All very odd.

It's a typical thing to find on a plane that is being worked on and in case somebody tries to fly it with some inconspicuous but vital part missing.

Mike is quite right an early Dixi using an Austin type cowl and bonnet.
I quite like the idea of the 'boys' returning from the Oktoberfest decided to have a bit of fun. |
