I was wondering the same? but it's only a drawing! found a nice colour film piece, maybe 2 seconds of 1940-41 of rows of B4's will try to get it on Youtube.

Ian, yes you'd need an oxygen mask, when I was driving!!!!!



And several sick bags

Cheers,

It looks like 20 'Capstan' to me. Was the passenger about to light up ?

At that speed it would be tricky to light a cigarette.

Could it be one of those wooden blocks to hold a rifle butt, I realise there isn't a contemporary photo to prove it but this drawing is pretty accurate in every other way.

Re: Forum picture Big4

I agree Rob..it is highly likely that the artist worked from a photo and included an existing detail (as opposed to inventing one unneccesarily)..Could this mean all existing Big 4s are incomplete?.. ...Ian

Too right Ian, I hope Ron made his new workshop wide enough for an outfit.
