After a day in the workshop with a Seven, what could be better than tottering into the study to find out more about Sevens! Mike thank you for that info, and the picture of Beck at Shelsley. Canning Brown does not mention the Austin entries at Holme Moss. I see you attribute the Shelsley photo to David Howe. I have just gone back to Austin Harris/LAT archive, and whilst David Ince is pictured and titled, it requires trawling through 1924 to find the image of Dudley Beck on the hill. Was Beck based in Manchester, or somewhere in the North of England? He had a busy year's competition in 1924, Llangar, Angel Bank, Shelsley, Colwyn Bay, Madresfield, Holme Moss and a number of appearances on Southport Sands. He makes no appearance in Boddy's History of Brooklands.
