Hi all,

Yes Larry, it is Les, and your information fixes the scene as a testing session, complete with mechanics and tools, or unofficial practice on Carlo's machine in 1953. The informaton as passed to me along with the photos was accurate right enough! Well, nearly!
The suggestion was that Les was checking which MV was the quickest, his or his team mates, without letting on! Thanks again all, it's great to have this help when I'm doing this stuff! Jake
