Historic pictures from a tour in the 1950's

[Reggie P]

OK , there isn't a GS to be seen ... but bear with me.
I came across this link on another forum ( a pilot/aviation one) .

From the first page , don't give up , keep scrolling down.
The photography is superb and the description of the tour on 1950 british bikes is engaging.

Well worth a read and inspiring stuff, No GPS kit , no Rallye suits , just a paraffin burner for a "brew up" and tweed jackets!

Let me know what you make of it !

(Tim , or Mods- please feel free to move this if you think I chose the incorrect section - apologies!)

Why delete it? It's so good it should be repeated again and again.
