"On 22 October 1915 the British Army formed the Machine Gun Corps to support infantry and cavalry units. One arm of the M.G.C. was called the Motor Machine Gun Corps and it was to be equipped with motorcycle mounted machine guns. After the usual trials, the Clyno firm was selected to produce these motorcycle-sidecar combinations. The Clyno was quite advanced for its time: it had a 5-6 hp 3-speed V-twin engine which was easily removable, a fully enclosed final chain drive, spring forks on the front wheel, three-point leaf suspension on the sidecar, and interchangeable wheels."

Built by Karen Rychlewski The model is based on a kit from Scale Link, Ltd, of Dorset, England. It is a 1/32 scale kit (Kit EB/VK4) comprised of 82 cast metal parts, one fret of tiny photo-etched wheel spokes. One example that this was more more than a simple issue if building a kit Rychlewski replaced the tiny fork spring castings with three springs made of 26 gauge wire wound around a straight pin.
