This was re-worked to look 1050's , but I loved it and there's some old "ITN news music there somewhere! (or BBC)?

Those BSA folding parabikes change hands for big money among the Military Vehicle boys as do the Welbikes. Ironically the Welbike was judged to be practically useless in post operation assessments and such light weight machines were never specified again. Which might explain their rarity although the post-War Corgi civilian version is quite numerous and often faked to look like an airborne machine.

I remember seeing them first time around at the cinema.

Scaleyback, Ton Up Boys 1964, I was riding a 1955 350cc AJS 16MS single Reg No. FDC711 in those days.
Do you have a bus conductor's bunnet like some of those lads?
I bet you would like the red one to go with Kevin!!
