WTAF.

 

Isn’t that Violet Carson ?

 

Any cloudologists (?) about - saw these odd ones this morning.

 

I'd go Mammatus clouds...(admittedly small ones)

 

Hmmm... I've just done an image search and it could be the Asperitas which has only recently, in 2017, been added to the International Cloud Atlas no less.

My photo & a comparison example from the Cloud Appreciation Society

 

Geordie?

 

Probably a Mackem

 

From an era of great advertising, how to deal with a bear…..

 

Is that an off-shoot of the Dull Men’s Club?

 

Oh good lord no... it's on much higher level of international dullness all of it's own making. And one that is strangely compelling

For example, have you have checked out the visual spectacle of the Nimbostratus page?

Left me absolutely dripping...

 

^^ Might well be that way...

 

Not sure what Triumph this is and also not quite sure how the exhaust header is fixed into the head.

Is that what they call a sloper??

 

I'm not sure... I've only ever heard the term 'sloper' used with Panthers and always thought it was refering to the slope of the barrel.

But prompted by your question a web search seems to imply it was a generic term. And the wiki for a BSA sloper mentions "Its engine rhythm, together with its easy handling may have added to choice of its name."

 

Speedway motorcycle engines also come in both upright and sloper.

There was a lovely unrestored Panther many moons ago in a transport yard I briefly worked at a lovely looking machine.
