1954 TT123 FF
|
In the 1950s, it was a tradition that the TT winning
machines were put through their paces by journalists after the race.
On
the Mountain Mile we see 1949 350cc World Champion Freddie Frith astride Ray
Amm’s 1954 Senior TT-winning ‘Proboscis’ Norton. To his right,
with pipe, stands Motor Cycling’s editor Graham Walker, Joe Craig,
Norton’s race manager stands alongside Graham. Harry Louis of ‘The
Motor Cycle’ stands to the left.
Freddie’s countenance seems
to register approval for the machine!
