WWII - Colditz - autograph -Charles Edward Stuart `Lucky` Lockett remarkable autograph letter signed `Charles` to his wife in England written from Colditz Castle dated August 14th 1943 written in pencil on a pre-printed POW form stamped with both the German and British censor marks in fine condition. The letter provides a detailed insight into life at Colditz by one of its most notable inmates. He writes that he has sent his wife some photographs (not present) but describes their content: `...the footballers are a mixed bunch. The people who I discuss in my letters are front row right to left Allen our orderly Roger Heap who eats with us Peter Dollar who lives with Bader. Near the back with pipe Douglas Bader...I haven`t been down to the football field for a hell of a time due to stoppages of privileges or some other reason. The lack of games playing facilities in what is to be an all British camp is a disgrace...the French men get parcels from France which supplement their Red X parcels and take infinite trouble over their cooking. The result is quite amazing. A new Scotch doctor Capt Dickie has arrived and is messing with us he is as far as first impressions go an excellent fellow. I`ve seen quite a lot of him `cos I`ve had a couple of boils ...he lanced one with a razor blade 2 days ago ...` `Lucky` Lockett had a colourful war to say the least. An RAF pilot he was shot down over Sedan and taken prisoner. The rest of his crew were all killed. He made a number of escape attempts including making it on board a Swedish ship but the crew forced the captain to turn him over to the Germans - he thus ended up at Colditz where among his fellow prisoners was Douglas Bader. Lockett himself is credited with having been on the team which made the legendary `Colditz Cock` the audacious attempt to build a glider which was to have been launched from the roof of the castle in an attempt to escape. Letters from Colditz are becoming scarce.

Velocette Viper Bike Make: Velocette Bike Model: Viper Bike Reg No.: Un-Reg Bike Frame No.: RS17499 Bike Engine No.: VR3016 Bike Colour: Black Velocette Viper 1956-69 348cc sweet and solid single 29 bhp @7000 rpm. Not much more can be said about these well engineered motorcycles which have a strong and avid following of discerning enthusiasts who appreciate good old fashioned style and quality; performance and economy too with 88mph and 58 mpg attainable, on a good day. The Viper, in it`s usual lustrous black, gold and chrome finish like the majority of Velos, is the sports version of the 350 options produced at Hall Green. A cooking 350 MAC roadster with quite a bit more spicy performance, an example of `same recipe, a bit more bite in a more attractive package` if you like, and easy to convert to Venom 500cc specification if more poke is required. Hard to find now, some came with the then fashionable glassfibre engine enclosures, making cleaning easier but cooling less so, and consequently discarded. The Velo is a machine for the individualist, but not so mechanically quirky and difficult as folk lore might suggest, if well set up and scrupulously maintained they are a delight to own but certain idiosyncrasies must be allowed for. Velocette owners are extremely well catered for by the Velo Owners Club Spares Scheme, numerous marque specialists and suppliers so spare parts are rarely a problem, if costly. The Viper in today`s sale is listed as an earlier restoration with many new parts fitted, details are sketchy at time of writing but the description of `all good` and `runs well` would seem to be correct. The bike is not registered and the frame is RS 17499 with engine no. VR 3016. Velocettes of all description are much sought after in today`s market, but still represent good value and are a sound investment for the collector or alternatively an interesting prospect for the active rider.
