Great Meeting last night, excellent member turn out.

Thanks Bott for a great meal, Thanks Boardy for filling in for Beak.

Thanks to those members that brought along paint for the new clubrooms, much appreciated.

And Thanks to Ross Johnson for bringing along his amazing Royal Enfield Flying Flea WD/RE 125, a very unique bike that was used in WWII and dropped out of RAF aircraft for Allied infantrymen & field messengers to use, some notes about the bike:-

Bike was built in 1948, 125cc 2-Stroke, weighs in at 130 pounds, 100 miles per gallon, 150 miles on a tank of fuel, 35mp/h top speed. will run on very poor quality fuel, 8000 dropped out of bombers during WWII, Sold in Brisbane by Taylors, still has the original plaque on the front mudguard, dropped in a tubular cage, one wingnut, rotate handlebars, push start & away you’d go. (kickstarter added later for civilian use), Sealed tight fuel cap, so the fuel wouldn’t leak if landed on its side. minutes to get it going once it landed, very light so lift out of bogs, Rubber Band front suspension, On D-Day 600 of these bikes were dropped. about 20k of them made all up, and used extensively after the war because of excellent fuel economy & the post war fuel rationing.
