Hi Guys,

I know this is a long shot !!, Does anybody have a copy of Motor Cycle News from 16th November 1966. Or have any ideas where or who I could possibly ask ?

Hi Pat,

I probably have a copy in a big plastic box in my garage...

Does it have anything in particular you are looking for? I'll have a search through at the weekend.

Hi Guy's .

Hi Westy,

I Know that Pat realy needs this copy of Mcn, it is very important to him, to find ,oh I better not say anymore. But if you could have a look for him mate, that would be brilliant. and I know Pat would be over the moon as they say, and could carry on with the project he is doing.

Best Regard.s Charlie.

Hi Charlie,

Pat has emailed me and I do have the very MCN of Nov 16th of 1966.

A photo of Pat is on the front page at the Earls Court Show.

I quote..

"The Golden Touch.. Gold medallist in Sweden's ISDT, riding a Victor, BSA's Pat Slinn poses with "Goldfinger girl" Caron Gardner and the new 440cc Victor roadster"

Another interesting "nugget" of front page news of interest to readers on here reads..

"A highly secret jet-engined torprdo with RAF trials rider Jon Tye at the controls may attack the motorcycle world speed record in the Middle East towards the end of 1967".... "with a jet it should be possible to reach 500mph!" Could this explain Jons lack of and greying hair these days I wonder??
