JM027 that he built for himself was built in August 1974 I believe so he started them before anybody else it would seem.




RR150 was built for a cross country tour using Blackburn's in April 1978, I think the customer said he couldn't or didn't want spend the extra $$$$$$ for custom as they had become very spendy by then.
