That's a blast from the past! I recall getting excited about each new innovative engine being developed in the Norton works; the Cosworth twin, the Rotary and the Favell/Wulf stepped piston. Each one carried the hopes of a resurgence in the British motorcycle industry. Their engineers and designers were top notch, but how could their production systems compete against hyper efficient Japanese mass production?

I worked at the Norton factory at wolverhampton in the 70s and remember seeing the 500 wulf and the early rotary engine as you said lots of promise then the place was closed, i ended up working for Norton on the JPS norton race team from 89 to 93 with great success winning british championships and the iom TT against the japanese teams

When i fly my sailplane (Discus turbo) stick in between your legs airbrakes and undercarriage and trim on the left, then with my Savannaha Y stick in between the seats throttle with my left hand and flaps in between your legs, and then my trike move the control frame to the left to turn right push forward to raise the nose push with your right foot to increase the throttle and on the ground push with your left foot to go right easy

Nice pics, gliding teaches you real flying imo

Just started building a Savannah lots of good info on here so far have built the Fin,elevator Tail plane, doors and just started the wings its a very well made kit everything fits up to date but some of the instruction are a bit vague fortunately there are a few on the airfield at Rangiora
