You might have noticed my fondness for classic motorcycles… This beautiful 1943 BSA M20 was photographed at one of the local ‘mustn’t miss’ events, the annual Classic Motorcycle Day at Crich Tramway Village in Derbyshire.

The BlackBurne Tomtit is a 670cc V-Twin aero engine dating from the early 1920s. It was developed from Blackburne motorcycle engines and despite its lack of refinement the first one adapted to aircraft use was the best performing engine at the Lympne light aircraft trials of 1923.

This one is on display at the Newark Air Museum in Nottinghamshire.
