Sprint Swansong 1966 - Here Vncent ace George Brown contemplates

the bleak runaway ahead. Polish FIM steward, B Matusak, makes the final adjustments to the timing lights. George was approaching his 55th birthday, the maximum age for international licence holders, so he chose to go out with a bang. Over three days in November 1966, with his 247cc Royal Enfielss two stroke, 998cc Vincent Super Nero and 1147cc Extra Nero, he took no less that 16 world and national records.
