Memories of Moonraker

I saw your article about drag racing in OBM and it brought back happy memories. The attached are about the only photos I have of Santa Pod and they just happen to include Moonraker. The two men standing looking at the twin-engined bike are my brother John on the right and myself – note the ties!

Moonraker launching on the left, but can anyone tell us who is the other competitor?

Bob (left) and John Vale examining Moonraker – and probably the best-dressed young men at the meeting!

A closer look at the two-litre flat four Butterworth engine with Manx Norton barrels.
