Re: Current photo on this page

Hiya all,

A strange one, the photo that sits on the forum page at the top of the page at the moment, with the DonR on his BSA M20 - C4679085 I think, this is a spit of my grandfather, Alfred Burt, who was a DonR in 1943-45. He went onto serve in France and Germany and see this chap has 21st Army Group insignia.

A total long shot, but does anyone know anything about this photo, I am sure it will not be him, but the photo is uncanny. My Dad says the same.

Thank you all for your help.

Regards

Danny Burt

Ian,

How bad of me, thank you for correcting me. I know a story of my grandad riding a Norton and his brakes went. He could not stop at a checkpoint and came off in a french ditch! He always had a scar on his face.

Thanks

Danny
