Thanks to Taylor for including The Hawkhurst Harrier in his BikeBound Blog and Website's Editor's top 10 custom bikes for 2019. The Harrier's in great company, but confess particularly liking the XS and Triumph...

The Hawkhurst Harrier is now a featured bike on the Bike Shed website. Pleased as punch and a big thank you to the Bike Shed team for both the invitation to exhibit at the Bike Shed London show 2019 and now a crackin' write-up on their site:

Take it too the Red-Line / Start a Nuclear War....In the second of two "mini-builds" era appropriate pieces to complement The Hawkhurst Harrier build - A vintage style desk lamp that didn't have enough rev counters in it (or cool toggle switches). Just for fun this one, but I actually got the sand bag and hammers out, which was nice.

In a follow-up to the debut at the show, the first of two complementary era pieces or “mini-builds” to accompany the Harrier - first a repurposed pair of 1920’s headphones. These were regretfully non-functional, and have been fitted with modern internals. The torn leather head trim has been replaced by the same leather used for the Harrier’s seat pad - almost certainly a rich Corinthian leather with a scent of rich mahogany... Very good sound, and with a tiny inline amp, volume goes up to 11, even with nanny state pods/phones.

Just got back from Calshot, Southampton from the site where the Schneider Trophy Float Plane Races were held in 1929 and 1931. In a way this is going back to where the build began - with the beautiful planes from the Schneider Trophy races forming the inspiration for The Hawkhurst Harrier.

Please take a look at the associated album for more photographs, do please like and share this page.

Capshot Castle is, of course, still there; while the flying boat hanger has been repurposed as a leisure centre. The Slip is in the same position as used in 1929 / 1931
