The Thunderball promo in the window is a nice touch. I guess that allows us to date this fairly closely. Wonder if they offered the rocket tubes as an optional extra?
-
And the plate on BOJ tells us '65 or later, probably a bit later if that was a for sale 2nd hand machine. (Dunno when Thunderball came out though!)
Nice pic
-
Thunderball was released in 1965

Might not have got as far as York that year GB, even with rocket tubes!
-
Could have got the rocket tubes off a contemporary BSA Rocket 3 perhaps.

In 'evocative pic' mode still, there's a good obituary in the UK Daily Telegraph today of a young naval chap who survived a kamikaze attack on HMS Indefatigable. Sitting happily on an M20 in Sydney, Australia, after the end of hostilities. I think he had every reason to be smiling given where he'd been.
Would upload it, but having bagged it I find it's a file type that's not loadable here and I don't know how to change it.
