Triumph typewriter
 

Yes it is true - its not the latest product to emerge from Hinckley - its in the Imperial War Museum ....as is the Brough Superior as used by TE Lawrence in 35 when he came upon some dawdlers in the road. He went over the bars and hit his head, dying from the injuries a week later...:(

The bike is inlovely condtion, it was given to him by the factory, and they took it back after the crash.

As well as seeing the 007 exhibition, I also stood next to the casing of Little Boy - one of the atom bombs ...how the casing survived i dk !:confused:Alpparently a cordite primer joins two pieces of uranium held at opposite ends of the casing. When the detonator goes off, one piece is fired at the other like a bullet, causing the explosion , which burns at 3,000 degrees C, flattening 65,000 buildings out of 80,000 that stood the day before...

I could go on, but ive got to get back to the DVD i bought there ...:cool:
