The One Show & The Welbike... I have a little film on The One - TopicsExpress



          

The One Show & The Welbike... I have a little film on The One Show tonight (Tuesday, 7pm, BBC1) about the remarkable Welbike - a miniature folding motorcycle, developed in WW2 by the Special Operations Executive, and dropped with British paratroopers, or spies, behind enemy lines. A small engineering firm in Stoke on Trent is now making replica Welbikes. I visit the factory and talk to its owner, Malcolm Kelsall. We are later joined by Dennis Collier, a 92 year old former paratrooper and veteran of Arnhem. Dennis had an unfortunate experience with his Welbike at that appalling but heroic military engagement. His memories are fascinating. The photos show me and Dennis test riding an original 1944 Welbike and one of Malcolms replicas. andykershaw.co.uk/
