In my occasional voyage of discovery regarding Bloctube Controls of Aylesbury … I stumbled across this page, which might be of general interest on this wet Saturday:

https://www.flyingcarsandfoodpills.com/ren-tampier—another-first-flying-car

Tampier invented the Bloctube carburettor

What a tangled web !

Thank you. Very interesting.

As for the question at the end of the article, does it make Rene Tampier the originator of the flying car? I doubt it but his aeroplane was obviously well thought out and worked well. It is a good example of the move to general aviation that was a necessity after WW1 although it looked back to the military. Others, such as de Havilland, did it better and ignored the car side of the idea.

Thank you Michael; I’ll save that one – it’s fine here (Cotswolds), but starting to look interesting – lots of high mares-tails and the barometer is dropping in large steps.. ..

It was a way of clearing the road of cyclists, pedestrians and others with that large prop spinning round ??
