Probably better known for their range of small model aircraft engines, this UK company based on the Isle of Man also made a Stirling engine from, I believe, the late 1950's, I don't know when production ceased.
This one I bought as a cheap restoration project, it came to me full seized and showing some years of neglect, plus a grim looking flywheel which the Mazac worm had clearly been munching on:

Don't know what happened there, hadn't quite finished..
Anyway, another photo of the engine as it is now:

Dave,
Just like the Davies Charlton that I got a few months ago. I like it a lot.
You did a nice job with the restoration, and it runs well.
