Attached is a blast from the past in more ways than one, George Brown and 'Nero' his much loved V Twin 1,000cc Vincent.
The event was was the Flying Kilo which took place on Redcar Beach in front of 15,000 people including me in 1950, George set a new record of 136.40mph.
The chap who is with him is Alf Buttress who was Clerk of the Course and a prominent member of Middlesbrough Motor Club which I joined in later years along with Geoff Duke who was also a member and quite liked my 1956 Dommi 88 fitted with Paul Dunstall bits.
