The following post is not about a car, but it is a mode of transport and one that has a link to my husband’s ancestry.
The photograph shows my late father in law, Derek Goucher 1926 – 2010, on his BSA motorcycle, when he was stationed at Blandford Camp in Dorset in June 1958. He bought the motorcycle for £250.00.
We know nothing about the motorcycle other than what has been mentioned here. Stuart wanted to try and either locate the bike or at least find out a bit about it and perhaps purchase a similiar model.
I posted the photograph to our site on Flickr and also to the BSA photo group and after a period of four years, someone posted that the model was a BSA C12G.
Very cool bike! I love the picture too. Your FIL looks very handsome happy.
Thanks for sharing and participating in the COG!

Motorcycle works! He looks quite jaunty in what I assume is a military cap. Handsome guy with a great smile! I'll bet you all miss him.

Linda, Yes a military cap – My father in law was in the Navy. After he was demobbed he joined back up, but joined the Army and was in the REME (Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers).
