Title: Reddich possibly 1981 maybe?
Post by: Four95 on March 09, 2012, 09:02 PM: It's taken a while but I've finally got round to making a start on scanning my old negatives. I think they were taken at Reddich in 1981 but if anyone knows better please get in touch.

I'm afraid the quality isn't great but if anyone wants copies any I can try and clean them up a bit, re-scan them at a higher resolution and bung them on a disc for you.

Post by: kdw712 on March 09, 2012, 11:30 PM: could the long head tube one be a wilson ?
didn't they build one with a 5" head tube

seen an ad in bmx weekly and also this thread says as much

Title: Re: Reddich possibly 1981 maybe?
Post by: TIMMO1966 on March 10, 2012, 03:36 PM: I reckon its an early Wilson,i had one about 1984.

Title: Re: Reddich possibly 1981 maybe?
Post by: kdubbmx on March 10, 2012, 07:30 PM: It is Redditch 1981 and I know nearly all the riders, shall I ID them..... :)
Title: Re: Reddich possibly 1981 maybe?
Post by: kdubbmx on March 10, 2012, 07:32 PM: Were they all taken at the same track? Because some certainly are Redditch but some of the don't look like it....

They look like Redditch, perhaps taken at different meets?
The track looks freshly built in some, others have a bit of vegetation growth on them. ???

Title: Re: Reddich possibly 1981 maybe?
Post by: rambino on March 12, 2012, 09:56 PM: Theses are fantastic ;D. Some of the earliest pics I've ever seen.. 2 of me #317 but the best picture by a mile is of John Lee #760. This must have been one of his 1st ever races. Robinson sticker on his headtube n torker on his number plate. He signed up for alans Robinson after this for a short while but as you know ended up as mr Raleigh burner. O and he's beating mike pardon #348. Brilliant photos. You got any more
Title: Re: Reddich possibly 1981 maybe?
Post by: LucyLastic on March 12, 2012, 10:57 PM: OMG! I know loads of them on these pics. My brother, David Westwell, is 245 and he is on an early 1980 Wilson, so is 444 but cant remember his name, will dig out a pic of him. What's a real treat is seeing my mum and dad on the second pic :) my dad is no longer with us so I love it when he appears on someone else's photos :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Reddich possibly 1981 maybe?
Post by: LucyLastic on March 12, 2012, 11:15 PM: Two pics were taken at Redditch by my dad except the last one. One of them being used by a mag.
