Happy Dayton Albatross holiday

by

I’ve managed to rustle up all the old photos I have of my Villiers 2T-engined Dayton Albatross scooter from the 1960s.

I know there’s not much of the scooter to see, because the purpose was to picture my late wife Maureen on holiday in France and at Calella, near Barcelona in Spain.

One of Ken Partington’s treasured photos shows his late wife Maureen standing by the Dayton Albatross scooter in France in 1962.

I repeated the trip in a Reliant van with a home-made trailer in 1966, and I did it again this year and last year, on both occasions on my faithful Suzuki Burgman 650.

I hope you will be able to salvage something from these photos of my c1960 Albatross for your archives.

Ken Partington,

As I know only too well, such happy memories are priceless, Ken. Thank you for sharing them with us. – Ed
