I noticed this advert in one of our national newspapers. Does that not look like a Cox engine in the model the kid's holding?
It may just be that they have used an old stock photo, but I thought it was interesting to see it being used today.

Could be an old stock photo, but the grandfather's eyeglasses look fairly modern. Before polycarbonate, big lenses like that would have to have been fully rimmed. It looks like someone had an old model for the pose though. It does look like a Cox Bee on it.
