Wow, that must have been underpowered

It could apparently haul 3 tons of cargo! It was used to transport mining equipment to Northern Manitoba and probably Saskatchewan and Ontario too.

I love these obscure bits of history :-)

And Iron Annie is still a terrible name for a watch brand

Absolutely dreadful name for a watch brand.

I love the look of the single engine version.

I’m just back from the Netherlands, and terrible punning Dutch business names like EviDENT (a dentist)

As I was musing on this, it suddenly came to me that French sports company Decathlon’s cycle brand B’twin is a pun on ‘between’

It’s taken me about 10 years to notice

I think I once flew to Guernsey in a BA Shorts.

At the time, I can remember thinking it was like a Ford Transit minibus with a plank strapped to the top.

[Seriously]
