John Britten and Mike Brosnan

4 July 1986

John Britten, on left, designer of world record setting motorcycles, and Mike Brosnan, mechanic, inspecting the Aero-d-Zero motorcycle. It is a Ducati powered pre-curser to the Britten bike, with the engine built by Mike Brosnan and the fairing designed and built by John Britten. This is most likely outside the Loadlift workshop on Annex Road. The fairing had just been finished and is just sitting on the bike yet to be attached, and the chain is also to be fitted.
