Gentlemen,



Please find a link to the above museum which I attended last Sunday, this time I took my car instead of an engine.

Is that the Wolverton museum? Havn't been there for many moons. Looks to have been some interesting stuff there - including a flying banana!

Nick,

Yes it is, did you look at the Stuart Turner in the boat. The Banana is a BT promotional tool for the telephones.

Yep, noted S-T. Like the NSU Prinz - what is the other little rear engined job? Re. Banana. I was actually referrinng to the rare Wooler motorcycle - the reason for the epithet should be obvious!

The blue one is an early NSU Prinx, the red one looks like a late version, probably 1967-ish ?

Wooler's earned the flying banana nickname due to their characteristic long thin petrol tank in its yellow livery. Thought everyone knew that - but then again quite a few people seem to recognise an early Prinz which I didn't ;-)
