This part is needed thanks to the contribution of Images & data by Dutch Motorcycling Historian & Author Jan Melssen, with HUGE amount of thanks!. Images we could never even trace in Archives. 1929 ISDT.

Historical data brought to us by Jan Melssen, 1929 information which most of us felt to be long lost.

Douglas 1930 ISDT Team, can anyone supply names please, another fine pic from Dave Martin

1932 ISDT

A wonderfully rare pic, a Dave Martin pic from  Llandrindod Wells in the ISDT there in 1933, British & Germany teams are shown, winners are Germany in the White Suits

NSKK emerged as Storm Troopers & along years seemed to use sterner wear, decor plus regalia.  I am unclear of their intended duties, they seemed far different to AA or RAC men in UK.  This and the following images supplied by Dave Martin, quite a shock to me to see this array recording what was an official organization.   Status as yet is unclear in level of government support plus actual purpose

To have a band equipped thus & to witness the regalia etc seems to have seen a very strange Official Governmental development phase, I am still puzzled over how I can politely describe the NSKK, or were they Brownshirts? or Stormtroopers, could someone provide further information?.

Absolutely unreal, a higher rank NSKK official Helmet which could nowadays be lightheartedly concocted by a Chapter of  Bikers.   A Brown Branch of the SS or Gestapo, decor seems to have been wildly uncontrollable

Amazing, the parade, I just hope that rider has earplugs.

Utterly unreal NSKK developments

1936 NSU

1936 ISDT Programme part of the momentos of NPO Bradley the great sidecar competitor in the British Teams, with sidecar passenger a Mr Tatstall supplied by Andy.

NSKK contingent 1936

Brian Jones's Mum Audrey & his late father Ben Jones would ardently follow events on Eppynt Mountain Range where ISDT Speed Trials took place, plus the Largest TT circuit of 5.2 Miles on Mainland Britain which saw Post WW2 TT's of highest quality.  1948 ISDT team selection for the event in ROMA Italy was selected in a 2 Days Event there in a period when Petrol rationing prevailed, below are pics I'd love to have identified, HELP!!! 1937 or 1938 ISDT too may provide info although the flag arrangement over  pits in 1938 looks different to the ones in this set of pics. I shall leave the original call for Help in place then advise all, ISDT Historian Netherlander Jan Melssen came to rescue us.  Above is  143 J. Ashworth 499 BSA in 1938 ISDT.

1938 ISDT, 143 J. Ashworth's again on his WORKS TEAM 499 BSA

191 thanks again to Jan Melssen is J. Savage jnr. with a Rudge 499cc.

BMW, but who what & when, Jan again advises us 150 is W. Mundhekke with BMW 490 & 165 A. von Falkenhausen BMW 494.

The Flag arrangement see upper right carried a Nazi flag in 1938, I believe the Welsh Flag is the second one here.

Background looks like structures in region of Lake in Llandrindod Wells. Thanks to Jan Melssen we now know 126 is W. Reinhardt BMW 597 Sidecar outfit.

Foggy or Smokey Start!?

1949 FIM Logo later changed to last

Was this Senor Bulto in 1951 at Varese in Italy ISDT?

Geoff Arkle took a 425 lbs BMW R68 with Trials upswept pipes to the 1953 ISDT and finished too!, a restored R68 shown.

Who is this on the 1970 Bultaco

1955 JAWA reigned supreme, 'just found an image of their Advertisment that year on ebay!.  They ARE good machines too, still being used in large quantities in Turkey where spares are still made as well!. JAnecek an Arms manufacturer as so many others after WW2 turned to producing Motorcycles, buying up the WAnderer producer, Thus JAWA came to be their LOGO, simpler than myself & possibly most would care to consider.

Later JAWA ISDT 402
