Cheers Paul, that's very interesting - and thanks for sharing the pictures. Did they come to you through the family ?

If you're looking for more detail, I'm sure that the Vintage Motorcycle Club Librarian would be happy to look up entry numbers for you, either in period publications or subsequent books.

I don't know where you're based but assume you know that the Sammy Miller museum has a V4 Ajay ?

Just being nosey, do you know what he was flying at the time of his death ?
PS Walter was fling a HAWKER HART SPECIAL.

I stmbled across the photos on the link in my first post - aparently found in an envelope from an auction.
The magazine Classic Motorcycling Legends NO14 had a good article which inclded a photo of Walter at Kate's on the AJS in the 1939 Senior on a No9 plate.
I believe Sammy has the bike in his museum. I would love to visit it sometime - I live at Greyabbey in Co.Down, N.Ireland so may nip across the pond sometime with my camera or maybe sammy would have some interesting photos!   ;D

Thanks for solving that puzzle RichP. I saw a photo of Walter in the 1939 Senior but it wasn't the No.50 in the photo. I believe it was on the AJS V4 he was first to lap a British Road Circuit at 100mph - the Ulster Grand Prix.
My father told me that Walter was his cousin. Walter became 966122 Aircraftman and trained at No7 Flying Training School, Peterborough. In 1940, aged 28,he and his instructor were on a training flight and Walter was killed in a crash at Tilton-on-the-Hill in Leicestershire.
