Ever see a Holland Hornet 15?

[Robert Zambelli]

We found this with some stuff in John Brodak's museum.

Same configuration as the HH 049 and 051 but 15 displacement.
It's obviously some sort of prototype, very well done.
It has a ball and socket piston/rod configuration.
Anyone have information on it?

What a beauty!

Have you checked that glow head to see if it's a Cox? Could the top end be Cox as well? I don't know of anyone else that used a ball socket top end that size.

Robert;
The engine in question is a prototype that never made it to the assembly line, ( this is the only one in the world ). The engine was part of Roger Wildman's estate, Roger wanted this and other engine's to go to John's museum. Roger use to set up at model trade shows and this was just one of his display engine's. Roger worked for / with Hi Johnson for several years on the .15 project as well as many others. You will find other rare Johnson products as you dig through the "stuff" in John's basement. His award winning pink Caprice is there too.

Blessings
