...another birthday mate! ...remember this 80HP Le Rhone engine in Topeka Rob? Good for powering a Nieuport 11 or a Sopworth Pup...if you've got one of those sitting around:-) ...here it is all shined up for you:) This one was made under license in Swissvale, Pennsylvania and accepted by the US Army Signal Corps on December 5, 1918.

Knowing the whole engine goes around makes this an absolutely fascinating image for me! Beautifully done, and a great dedi piece for Rob. Happy Birthday, Rob! :)
