History Trivia:  Have any of our readers heard of John Henry Knight? In 1895 Knight built one of Britain’s first petrol-powered motor vehicles, a three-wheeled, two-seater  with a top speed of only 8 mph.  It was “The first petroleum carriage for two people made in England”  The Benz Motorwagen was built in 1885.  In the Three Wheel Association collection we have a Rudge Coventry Rotary Tandem made in 1886.  John Knight’s three wheeler is pictured below.

Harry was lucky enough to be able to sit in a Fokker DR1 replica at the Frederick Municipal Airport.  It made for some cool photo shots.
