8 years army, infantry and SAS. Dad was in WW2 in Dunkirk and Norht Africa,
Royal Artillary. Triumph note: After the war he joined Standard Triumph and
drilled engine blocks on the very same engines that are in your TR's on the
night shift to make more money. So if your head studs dont quite align you
can blame Smujer Smith. My mother worked at the factory all during the war
even after she had me in 1942. Dropped me off at my grandmothers and rode
her bike the 7 to 8 miles thro all weather to put in a 12 hour day. Made em
tough in those days and she is still going at 84. So now you know I'm a
Coventry boy,Rob. PS, My youngest served 4 months at the start of the Iraq
war in the front line with 4th Marine Recon. My middle son is currently in
the Gulf area( don't know where) as a Navy SEAL.
