When I was at Burnaston in the Heady Days of Kings Cup
. Our man was Ron Payne in his Speed Six and the arch rival was Nat !
We used to top overhaul the engine ( Even with 50 hours on it since last top
) we taped in the aileron and elevator gaps and polished the aircraft a dozen times - this was a pennance for any misbehaving apprenti
- just before the races
