Matra had visited Botany Bay with Banks
New South Wales described in James Matra's proposal were attractive.
Banks accepted an offer of assistance from the American Loyalist James Matra in July 1783.
Under these circumstances, the strategic advantages of a colony in
New South Wales described in James Matra's proposal were attractive.
Matra had visited Botany Bay with Banks
in 1770 as a junior officer on the Endeavour commanded by James Cook.
Under these conditions, the strategic benefits of a colony in
New South Wales pronounced in James Matra's proposal were elusive.
Matra wrote that such a settlement could facilitate attacks
upon the Spanish in South America and the Philippines, and against the Dutch East Indies.
OK fine, the Ford GT40 and De Tomaso Vallelunga had this layout before the Miura, and, in turn,
something called a Matra Djet beat both Ford and DeTomaso to the punch.
