Young engineer in the making...

  This is one of the few pictures when Stripduster had twin engines, unfortunately it wasn't successful so she went back to having only one engine.

   

 

These pictures were taken when Stripduster was taken to an exhibition show in Jersey

 

These photos not seen before by the family, were sent to us by Alan Currans of Acceleration Archive with kind permission of Roger Phillips

 

                        

 

 

The above three pictures were taken for a spectacle advertisement in Germany, we understand that Christian Hofmann worked for the company and they sponsored him for a while and used the car in their marketing campaign. (The driver is not Christian)
