This Log Book of his journeys in Britain was written by a young Motor Cyclist Jack Gordon Winchester in the mid-1920s. His Accounts were kept meticulously. The book was found in a demolished garage in Thornton Cleveleys, Lancashire, in the 1960s. The book had probably been previously in the possession of his father, who lived in Cleveleys in the mid-1930s. Jack Winchester's son, Dr. Peter Winchester, is Chairman of the Divi Seema Foundation
