It such a good day for photography I'd though I'd treat these two to some rays, naturallight is so much better than flash for revealing the detail truthfully and without the full on glare of flash!

M140, Bowmans compact rocket! Must be one of the smallest engines ever with twin pistions?


Big counter shaft wheel . . .

The M135 . . .








... and it constant companion . . .



As Lamby and Beefy would say, the mark of qualiteeee . . . .




Enjoy.

I must get one one day. Excellent close-up shots, as usual, Mike! Everyone's Bowman
photos are a real treat. But, just what is it about the M140 that makes it so endearing?
