[QUOTE="Diogenes, post: 43050, member: 91"] Thanks. Rider appears to be Cyril Julian, as his 2 tone helmet seems same as that of rider on page 62 of Peter Carrick's 1982 book VINCENT-HRD ISBN 0-85059-512-6 . At the risk of seeming tedious, it seems to me that there are loads of excellent photos of the Vincent story in various books and articles. In many cases the people in the photos are not named fully. In my opinion it would be a help in capturing the fullest possible Vincent history if as many names as possible could be added and published. Most of the surviving ex-Works people are still in the Stevenage area, so it would seem natural for local VOC Sections to have a shared project of trying to get and record as many names on photos as possible, while those ex-Works people are still available. For a start, there are loads of really interesting photos in the small VINCENT booklet available from Stevenage Library ( if it has not yet been closed ). Some of those fuzzy photos were taken from a local newspaper, so that would be a source of better quality pictures. Time is not on our side and action would be most effective by those living near to Stevenage. I feel reasonably confident that this suggestion will be totally ignored. [/QUOTE]
