unusual facts about Paxman



Gebr. Alexander

This instrument was badly damaged in the crash which killed Brain, but was restored by Paxman of London and is now on display, along with an Alex played by Brain's uncle Alfred Brain, in the Royal Academy of Music museum.

Jeremy Paxman

The otherwise-republican Paxman's On Royalty, which entailed the cooperation of Britain's royal family, became by the time it was published in 2006, to his own surprise and somewhat to the surprise of others, a defence of the country's constitutional monarchy.

Paxman became a focus of media attention in his own right in October 2000 when an Enigma machine, which had been stolen from Bletchley Park Museum, was inexplicably sent to him in the post.

Paxman Hi-Dyne engine

Paxman subsequently supplied sixteen Hi-Dyne engines, based on the 6 cylinder RPHXL (contracts 55096-103 and 55721-8) to Hudswell Clarke for locomotives for Sierra Leone Government Railways.

The Paxman Hi-Dyne engine was a form of experimental diesel engine developed for rail transport use by the British engine makers Paxman of Colchester.
