Ariel on show in Netley 1986

Post by Vesa Helske »

While sorting out my old photos, I found the one attached. I was visiting Hampshire County Fair in Netley on a free week-end in the middle of a two week technical course at Hants et Sussex in Portsmouth, early autumn 1986. The Ariel - VH or VHA? - was set in front of a tent of South Hants Vehicle Preservation Society. Registration no: FFE 553 and it has gaiters/bellows fitted on the forks as a non-original feature.
May be a member recognizes FFE 553? There was another Ariel, too, registration no: COW 141, rigid/girder forks, green tank. Unfortunately I only have the negative left.

Coincidentally I was living in Southampton in 1986, but didn’t visit the fair.

" It's a small world, I have a brother, too!" said James Bond to a chap who was going to his brother's funeral.

At a class reunion dinner one of the teachers turns to his former pupil sitting next to him and asks “was it you or your brother that was killed in the last war?”
