The Great Escape wasn’t a film about motorcycles; it just happened to have the scene that everyone remembers. Interestingly, although McQueen didn’t perform that stunt, it was his idea to include that scene. Both Ekins and McQueen were avid motorcyclists.

Their motto of �Made like a gun, Goes like a bullet� is also evidence of their military involvement. In 1907, the company joined forces with a business with the unlikely name of �Alldays & Onions�, to produce the Enfield-Allday automobile.
