Thanks for posting that Mac, really interesting article. Have you seen 'one mans dream' the story of John Britten? i've got it on DVD if you would like to have a butchers.
Do you remember the VTR Britten looky likey built by a member on here by the login of Brinz if I remember correctly.

Take the time to open the images, luckily he didn't put the pictures on the forum only the pathway, so hopefully they will stay viewable with Photobucket going mental! Top skills.

Amazing looking and sounding machine, tradgedy that John Britten died so long.

I was at the TT in 1994 where it astounded everyone with it speed but sadly Mark Farmer was killed on one in practice that year, this picture was taken as it broke down just where I was standing that year(apologies for the mash of pics)
