Norton necessity

Sir,

In reply to WB (page 1042, October), I remember that H Mortimer Batten wrote articles for The Motor Cycle just after WW2. The articles were not wholly of a motoring nature, but were concerned with country life, stag hunting, fishing and so on.

The use of a Norton motorcycle on these trips appeared to be a necessary, but enjoyable, adjunct.
