The Simplex Project

Thanks Paul!!
Sorry I haven't updated recently, I have been busy. I will update now.

You could be right Jack, we will probably never know though. Would be great to find a list of companies that made the Simplex. I know Buzacott made them under license.

Also notice the holes on Paul's cowl, looks like it had a Rover tank at one point!
