Waratah article

[R]

I understand OBA  has a Waratah article this issue 127
Anyone have any inklings as to content. ?

No mention on the cover

Holding my breath with excitement! Hope they read our musings on here...

I don't usually buy OBA, but I did buy the last issue when someone pointed me to an article about a particular Australian-made bike. Alternative reality is everywhere these days.

Page 16, light history on one page with two pictures.

Ha !
Ain't that the trufff.

I have in the past emailed them with some corrections to one of their stories.
About something as recent as a Commando even.
The finer details of the history is still emerging, it seems.
To their credit, they did publish said corrections.

We see that that this latest edition is under new management.....

Be interesting to see how the new bloke goes. Their proof reader is still on holiday.

Seems universal. Now these old bikes and the old boys who "knew" them recede ever further into history, the amount of published BS seems to grow year on year.
Even worse, BS when published, then becomes the truth when later Googled.

So I spent my $15 to read the very sparse article on Waratahs, which would have benefited from a bit of googling https://classicmotorcycleforum.com/index.php?topic=6172.0

Proof reading. Mmm... I might have enjoyed the article about Phil Irving's exploits, but (in my copy of the mag, at least) instead of the last page of the article I scored another copy of the second page. I grew up reading Motorcycle Sport, which famously spread bits of an article all over the issue, but in this case the end of the article was nowhere to be found. I doubt I'll spend another $15 next month to get the end of it!

That makes 2 of us - spent my $15 and was rewarded with a single page that could have been improved by consulting here.
Ah well, makes for bumper profits on the 1st issue under new management. ??

We'll see if we can tap into that missing page.
