Well, you are not far off the mark there David. As an expat Kiwi I grew 
up not too far away from Bert Monroe and while I never met him was 
aware of his adventures.

Incidently, and funnily enough, in my youth I purchased a very tired 
old Aston DB4 off Roger Donaldson who directed "The World's Fastest 
Indian". I think that thing must have had a set of Bert's old pistons 
in it.

And Roger is also a very fine photographer BTW. A year or so ago I was 
back in Auckland, and visited a gallery in the west of the city where 
Roger was holding a retrospective, all BW from the 60's, 70's and 80's. 
And to bring this back OT, I do not know how the images were printed 
and do not really care but the images and the print quality were both 
superb.
