"The rebirth of the BH’s model S.11, inspired in Ireland, presents with the intention of rescuing a piece its history. The last remaining numbers of the Irish elk (Megaloceros giganteus) which populated the Irish land more than 10,000 years ago, could grow up to more than 2m height, weigh more than a ton, and his horns could reach up to the 3 meter wingspan. When the last ice age climate changes that occurred on earth, altered its environment and the flora of that it fed on, perhaps it simply weakened by a lack of sodium, calcium and phosphorus that his big bone structure demanding. Or perhaps his great antler provoked a critical situation, where it would become entangled on the brush and trees without the ability to escape from predators. This is a small tribute to the Irish elk, who had no second chance."
