How are you getting on with the wheels in winter? Are they lacquered?

They are the ball polished challenge rims and they look like they have been clear coated to me. No problems so far. The Michelin Pilot Alpin tires are the big enabler when it is this cold (2-3 degC).

Allan Pollóck was the pilot.

A lovely interview with him from the Imperial War archive. Skip to reels 24/25 to hear about the 'fly under' and subsequent dismissal.

Saw them many many moons ago. Lenny Henry was in the show.

Probably not acceptable these days

Two Ronnies Short and Fat Minstrel show. 1:08 was a track I remember from the albums in my youth

Indeed.

Personally I liked the music, to a limited extend as a <10 yo (not what I'd listen to these days, but there's basically nothing I'd listen to now from those days)

I never got the 'environment' for a better phrase. Never understood it, never resonated with me.

You're going straight to he!! for that one.

If you were born in the early 60's it was all part of your growing up

 

[BennyD]

It was, but the SJW/wokes will make sure it wasn't.

Don't mention this, I have a collection of band members collected from Robertsons Jam, I have one that is broken and keep thinking I should search for a replacement but then think of all the noise it would be likely to cause in the internet world so maybe not
