They won British GP 3 times and Swiss once in the 1930's. Seales was an air gunner in 96 sqn Defiant in 1941. He "wing walked" to help his pilot out (stuck harness mechanism) at 3000 ft after striking an object on take-off which wiped out the undercarriage. He motor cycled until 75 and then wing walked again on a Stearman from the Utterly Butterly team to make a new British time record at the age of 88 even though he had lost a leg a few years before after walking under a London bus! great characters.Boulton Paul Archivistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906028895657817353.post-65385207162787823072011-01-21T09:26:58.591+11:002011-01-21T09:26:58.591+11:00What a great find Dennis!

I'm surprised that Rudge would invest the time and money to develop such a beast, instead of a 350 or 500cc motor... They certainly were inventive and independent fellows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
