Just read it in Normans new book so it must be true!
Regarding the engine for the bike which was to become the Commando,
on page 62 he says: A variety of ideas were mooted at Woolwich (Plumstead actually) the most advanced of which was the 800cc P10 ohc twin. Nevertheless it was Edward Turners 360 degree twin cylinder design in enlarged form that was to become the future power source.
Poor old Bert must be Turnering in his grave.
