Re: Forum picture

Re: Forum picture

Computers are lazy Keith, they just show you what they think is still there as that is what is stored in the memory. You have to refresh the page to make sure you get the latest photo.

Nice picture of the Princess Irene Brigade either entering Den Haag or Amsterdam in 1945. I have not seen this particular one before but I do have a picture taken slightly earlier or later, showing the same riders and bikes.

The PIB obtained their first M20's in june 1941 and those will have been replaced as and when necessary so its not a surprise you see early and late models.

I have some more history on the website www.wdnorton.nl.

Re: Forum picture

I found the place.

Its on the corner of the Keizersgracht and the Leidsestraat in Amsterdam, looking towards the city centre.
The original picture is slightly larger giving more clues.
The house on the corner at left is number 35, and clearly visible in streetview.

Cheers,

Rob

Re: Forum picture

I have done everything to renew the page, but to no avail; is it something in the memory that even after removing site and forum I still get the three-helmet picture

Ok, next job is to organise 3 bikes for a 'then and now' pic. Not sure you will find it easy to arrange the carriers and Bedford MW for the background though!
