Sweeping the Field

A couple of colourful brochure covers from nigh on fifty years ago. One promotes both the the worlds best AND the fastest. The No. 9 racer speeds out of the booklet like the Bonneville’s must have shot out of the showroom floors on any Monday after the Sunday racing. Clean graphics very evocative of the mid sixties. We’re watching the TV series called George Gently which is produced with a super sense of time (1964). And, to boot, based in Northumberland with Geordie accents aplenty.

  1. David son,
    We’re watching George gently too, tho’ the latest series here has just finished, the past couple of weeks or so. And very good it is too.. just goes to show there’s more to Martin Shaw than the dreadful 70’s cop series. You are right, it is very well done Geordie.. I’ve watched and watched looking for daft things out of place.. but No..! all very good.
    All we need now is Jimmy Nail [Oz from Auf Wiedersen..] to show up in the next series and that’ll be it then. Mega..
    Regards as ever
    B
