So that's that made all the row ! I snuggled happily behind my inch-thick panel of armoured glass (it'd bounce off the angled side panels). Engine not bothered - cowlings paintwork battered a bit.
A frightening experience in your York ! Similar thing happened to me in a car: out of the blue came a loud crack and the screen crazed. Crawled to nearest Halfords, got celluloid sheet (then in demand for sport car and sidecar windows), about 9x7 in, pushed big hole in screen outwards easily, covered it with the clear sheet and secured with Sellotape. Drove over the Pennines to York on a snowy Christmas night ('62, I think). Luckily it didn't snow any more, as I couldn't use the wipers. Traffic almost nil.
Got in all right !
Glad to see you back - now how about some York stories ?
