The Way We Were
Lyric Theatre Bendigo. Publicity shot for Laurel and
Hardy in The Big Noise c.1945.
The standard size motor-bike is a British Royal Enfield.
The miniature bike is a ‘parachute’ bike, dating from
the late 1930s. These bikes fitted into a metal cylinder
and were dropped by parachute to troops on the
ground to provide a means of transport. - Ross King
