DWS Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 OK this is going to be a long shot but here goes. Has anyone got any information, or photographs, about an RAF Display held at Summerfield Park, Birmingham in September 1967? I ask because a note in the BSA Factory records states that a Prototype RAF Police/Escort BSA B40 GR was sent to the display and was there for almost two weeks. Any information, especially about this motorcycle, would be welcome. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Dave, a visit to the VMCC archives at Burton upon Trent might turn up something. I believe that they have back issues for both the weekly motorcycle magazines. Bearing in mind that Birmingham was pretty much the centre of the remaining industry by then and that 'Motor-Cycle' even had a Midlands Editor in the shape of Bob Currie, I'd suspect there is a fair chance that someone would have submitted a photo. Even if you draw a blank, I'm sure you won't regret your time there. It is packed with fascinating material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
