No it isn't. It's a version of a UK 912-engined Europa on the 85 mile sea
crossing from Cherbourg to Isle of Wight. It was probably closer to 1/2 hour
that it ran without oil pressure, although a lot of the oil remained trapped
in the sump, so some splash lubrication and cooling would have been present.
