The Power of the Napier Sabre - An exclusive evening with Clen Tomlinson

The Hawker Typhoon Preservation Group is proud to announce an exclusive evening with Clen Tomlinson.

Clen is responsible for ‘all things engineering’ with the Napier Power Heritage Trust as well as being on their executive committee. His career as an engineer led him to work on a diverse range of disciplines that went from the Hawker Hunter to under water weaponry and everything in-between! His knowledge of Napier engines is hard to match and not just limited to understanding them inside and out. He also builds scale working models with a Sabre currently under construction.

The evening’s talk will take a fascinating journey through the Sabre’s ancestry, design features, development and ultimate performance. Comparisons will be made with engines from the UK, America, Germany and Russia with the proposition being made that ‘ The Napier Sabre was the most Powerful Piston Engine used in WWII ‘.

This is an exclusive presentation for the HTPG with limited numbers available so please book early to make sure of your place.
