At midnight GMT, Wikipedia changes subjects. Under 'did you know' section of the home page tonight, is the Banner Lane plant history. From Standard's pre war Bristol aircraft engines to the demolition a few years ago.
 
This isn't the famous 'wiki-leaks' website, this is more of an online encyclopedia.
It seems 'wiki' means people with more information can update or add to it, or argue with stuff on there, not like a website that's someone's property?
 
Hey Tony, I read the Banner story and saw they used explosives to bring the building down. Glad you didn't do that to the 23C, I still have hopes for it after I get other projects out of the way...
 
Yeah 2, I was thinking the same thing. At 60,000 a year, and they never wear out... it's funny they ain't free huh? Like the $5 model T's kids were buying in the 40's and 50's... and this was just the UK plant! Not Detroit or Toronto or France or India... what did the company make? 2,000 a day???
 
The 35 with the Standard Petrol engine is quite rare actually, even over here, there were more with the Continental

Thanks Sir John.I stumbled across both the Standard petrols I have. Thought I was going to Florida to buy a regular 35 continental both times. The 87mm seems more powerful than the continental.
 

Is that saying that the UK lost out to France for manufacturing because the UK government did not put pressure on MF to stay in the UK? So something like 6000 jobs were lost.
Not looking to get into a row between French & UK, more the fact the gov did not do anything :evil:
I am not sure why I am so surprised. We give more away then we actually keep in the UK nowadays :roll:
 
Power should be about the same, maybe the Continental was slightly off tune or the Governor is set better on the Standard 87mm.. John(UK)
