Had an interesting conversation with a retired Airman at the coffee shop this morning, 25 years and posted all over the world during his service during the late 50's and into the 70's. He is always kind enough to ask what I'm currently building (always several builds going at any given time) & I mentioned the Simplex. He jumped on that and regaled me with several stories of his encounters with the military Simplex's and dependable cold weather starts and performance in Greenland was one of them. I didn't know about the military testing results related in an earlier post, this thread, but his story backs it up in my mind. There was a SAC base 15 miles from my home during the cold war & I remember well airmen on Airforce blue Simplex cycles and trucks on base during my youth. Thought they were cool and still do!
