<\/figure>\n\n\n\n============================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s hard to believe that we are half way through the month of January with very little snow down low in our Valley – Obviously we need it up on the mountains, and yes they do have lots on the Ski Hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
==========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a follow up to our Ariel Arrow story – here is a pic of the great Sammy Miller on one at a Thruxton Production road race – looking stylish as always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In these Production races – there were two riders per team – here is a pic of Sammy’s partner Cecil Sandford and on the far side Peter Inchly<\/p>\n\n\n\n ============================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n And a reminder that Trials riding is not all about hopping and bopping – no danger in this section except maybe a hernia!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n ==========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n And because we don’t much news – I thought I would post this nice pic of a De Haviland Tiger Moth – used as a trainer for RAF pilots at the start of World War 2. – This was also the very first aircraft, that I ever flew in as a schoolboy although that model was called the Fox Moth and had a small cabin built between the wings. – We took off from the beach at Southport with a guy who was giving “Joy rides” – he later crashed the plane but escaped injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n =========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n For You Tube fans – there is a lot of video from the Dakar – and lots of wrecked cars!!
