While sifting through dad's old family photos, I found this one of us on holiday, it was taken around 1954 ..
On the back it says.. Typical hedges of Devon..
The motorcycle was a single pot Norton 500cc .
He built the 'caravan' at home in the back garden..very simple affair.. .. it had two fold down canvas hammock beds for me and my sister.. mum and dad slept on the floor on a double air bed.. The rear wall opened up to form a roof, it had two legs, with side screens to form a kitchen/ washing room..
My mum looks as if she is posing side saddle .. gauntlets on the roof of the sidecar.. you can just make out the pilots goggles on her forehead..
perhaps one of the first motorcycle combinations towing a caravan.. ?
