1912Staver Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I expect the " Flying " is just Standards sales Dept.'s attempt to link their somewhat sporting car with the glamour that aircraft had in the 1930's in the U.K. Anything aircraft or flying lifestyle related in this period was extremely fashionable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
