73.5kB isn't much of a test, papasmurf, let's see if it will take a raw 4MB photo.

Ah yes, THAT's more like it. Thanks, folks.

Captain Tom Moore: Veteran's motorbike found by Bradford museum
4 June 2020

A museum has discovered that one of the motorbikes in its collection was raced by a young Captain Tom Moore.

Bradford Council's museums and galleries service said the fundraising veteran raced the Scott Flying Squirrel in local club events.

Capt Tom, who is originally from Keighley, West Yorkshire, won numerous motorcycling trophies.

The bike once belonged to Oliver Langton, who raced for the famous Belle Vue Aces speedway team in Manchester.

The museum said Maurice Rispin, who is in his 90s and is an expert on Scott motorcycles, remembers the bike being loaned, or possibly sold to Capt Tom.

Scott Squirrel,manual oiling? Where's his pipe? Always set at optimum angle for combustion at speed...
