I don't know. I hadn't heard but that's as surprising
as a wildcat story in silly season up here. What I
can and will say though is that I had a moment of
what I understand to be referred to as "epiphany"
when I saw the range of Haynes manuals written
in conjunction with the RAF for various classic old
crates, and some rather newer ones actually.
It bring a slightly wryer element to the whole "pointless
hours spent flicking switches, checking bulbs and
failing to actually configure the array in order to
effect sustained combustion" persona May has bumbled
his way through for the cameras, running cross-season
tag gag like a blooperstring than was, perhaps, immediately
obvious.
That's not cranky--that's just namechecking within
the remit. After all, not all vacuum carbs are equal.
