    Photo Restoration and identification of motor bike please

    This photo is of my Dad and brother with their parents, I guess in the early 1920s (my Dad is the younger boy and was born in 1915). Could someone please clean it up for me? Also if any motorbike enthusiasts out there can identify the bike that would be a bonus

    Many thanks for the fab restorations! I think it will become one of my favourite photos - never seen by me before, until my cousin sent it to me a few days ago. Yes, the sailor's hat does say HMS Blenheim, but I don't know the significance of it. I've found another photo of the motorbike, taken from the other side, which might help with identification as you can just make out some wording. I think it says 'New .....'

    Hi Joy
    New to this so please bear with me. I have given the photo a once over. I don't think it is as good as some of the others, but here goes.

    Looking at how this has attached I think I need some guidance

    Oh Joy that's a nice one too

    Can't read what it says though ~ pixellated when enlarged ~ but you could try rescanning it, this time increasing the scale %
