Great pics and story. That kind of thing is why I subscribe to The Classic Motorcycle mag from the UK. It's full of old pics of racing and trip pics as well.

Thanks! I'm glad people appreciate it. It seems the guy's website has gone viral and now he is considering creating posters of some of the shots. So, check back in a couple of days and see what he has available.

Anyone else have old photos like this? Maybe we should post them here.....

My Dad worked for Avro Aero from 1925 thru the war as a mechanic & strip manager in the Derbyshire area. I wonder if they ever met?
Love the story & the pics. I wish I had a historical collection of this quality of my Dad.
