Edward Turner Honored with Blue Plaque in Southwark, London

Veloce author John Rosamond and Tony Benn were at the event in the U.K. where a plaque was dedicated for Ariel and Triumph motorcycle engineer, designer and general manager Edward Turner. His legacy remains on the road, Triumph was built by him and still exists due to his timeless designs. He was also the designer of the famous - and now rare and expensive - Ariel Square Four motorcycle. A long-overdue honor, but he does already have many...sadly, he left this world in 1994.
