Nostalgia trip again

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.
