THROUGH A LUCKY COINCEDENCE, ALAN MATCHETT RECENTLY MET AN EX BH BELFAST STALWART WHO WE HADNT HEARD FROM THUS FAR ON THE BLOG, ADVISED HIM OF THE EMERGENCE OF B.H.M., AND ENCOURAGED HIM TO HAVE A LOOK AT IT.
So we are very pleased to announce that Malcom Morgan, the last leading light in BH Northern Ireland, has now made contact direct, and the ex-Regional Manager has also sent us a couple of images. Now we did in fact have one of them already, but only a "fuzzy" version from BH News, but now we have an original, in all its glory, seen below.
It shows Malcolm in the Middle, (US TV show for the uninitiated), Norman McBride then Parts Manager on the left, and Austin Field, (JBH Sales Director at the time ?) at the Belfast Show, sometime in the mid-1980`s…..
….with the content of this image, it includes a 32-04 (!!!!), and R-17`s, whose respective productions started & finished around 1983/84, we would suspect that this was the date…..the second foto is a similar occasion, almost certainly later, and obviously we had new agencies in BHNI by then…………………
….although we dont see any signs up for Titleist or Top-Flite, which we would have thought appropriate, given one of the attendees !!! We have Malcolm again, on the left, in the middle John Russell, Sales Manager with Yale Lift Trucks, and of course that well known Cambridge Blue & current high flyer at the R&A, ex-JBH MD Peter Dawson.
