A member of the Industrial Railway Society confirms that the locomotive called “Brooklands” which was used in the construction of Brooklands Track, was a class-L, 0-6-0 Manning Wardle saddle-tank loco with 12 in. X 18 in. cylinders, bought new by Price & Reeves in 1907 and delivered to them at Weybridge. The question is, where is it now, so that 5 may be photographed and possibly preserved by the Brooklands Society? A Rochet motor-tricycle may be seen in the next VCC Brighton Run. A Brooklands-model Austin 7 is apparently being restored in New Zealand. The current magazine of the Vintage Austin Register has a photograph of at-sty unusual 1935 Austin 20 tourer and tells of a 1928 Austin 16 Burnham saloon, converted to a pick-up truck which is still used to tow gliders at the Blackpool and Fylde Gliding Club. A Voisin has won the opening event of this year’s VSCC of Australia season. Volvo are celebrating their 50th Anniversary. Regulations for the 1977 FIVA Rally to Portugal are now available, from the Clube Portugues de Automoveis Antigos, Rua Do Duque Da Terceira, 403-1, Portugal, The Vintage Austin Register is holding a National Silver Jubilee Tribute at Emberton Park, Olney, on May 7th for 1920s-1940 Austins of from 7 to 24 h.p. Details from: Harold Catt, The Library, RAC, Pall Mall, London SW1. Proceeds go to HM The Queen’s Silver Jubilee Fund and to local charities. A “Transportation Through the Ages” parade is due in Ticonderoga, New York, on August 13th/ 14th. Contact M. Slater, at the Chamber of Commerce in that City. We regret to repos the death of Alderman Basil Monk, MBE, who joined the Trojan Company in 1922 and was Patron of the Trojan DC. Reminder— the Historic Cornmercial Vehicle Club’s London-Brighton Run starts on May 1st from Battersea Park, leaving at 6.30-9.30 hours and going via the A23, to arrive at Brighton at 10.30-13.00 hours, the route going through Crawley, with a halt there from 9.30 hours. A varied entry of IRO will take part, of which over 70 arc newcomers to the Run, the oldest of these being a 1900 Renault van.
