Ups, didn't realize that the first info also came from the HP.
But I'll take the chance to say hello to all after being only a reader here up to now.

Hi Mike and welcome to the nuthouse 
If you've lost the plot or were never quite sure what it was, you'll fit in very nicely here.. seemless one might say

I'm a bloody Kraut who sometimes dresses up with a Highland kilt (connections to the Black Watch RHR), so can it come worse?? :dance:

Tony..Mike..thanks very much for those links. Its been a long time since I saw anything of this project, and I'm amazed just how well its turned out. Of course the fact that he skinned it with aluminium explains why " From the outside, you would never have guessed it was plywood on wooden frames". Gawd I can be dim at times. :roll:

1927 Brough Superior and 500 Manx Norton. Here's another pic of the Manx and a road-going Brough with a sidecar.

Ian, you should've asked as I've already got a pretty good image that you can use if you want. I know of two people already who've recreated these stickers, the one on G-ARVM may well be from one of them.speedbird591 wrote:I picked up my own project while I was there. Above is a photo of the old BOAC VC10derness sticker that I found stuck on the rotting carcass of G-ASGM. My mate and I have been trying to locate a pic of that sticker for years as we wanted to recreate it. And thanks to Brooklands - now I can!
As for the Lancs, the black one is a 'backyard recreation' and the silver one is indeed linked to a Discovery documentary. There's a bit about them here: http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=86091

Hi Ian. I did recognise the Manx Norton. But I was especially curious about the one up on the bench in the eighth picture down. (Blue tank, girder forks, no engine.)speedbird591 wrote:1927 Brough Superior and 500 Manx Norton. Here's another pic of the Manx and a road-going Brough with a sidecar.

The Brough is a classic.
