Darryl Gleadel recalls: This is my farther Malcolm Gleadel at Caversham in 1948 aged 21 on his 1936 360 Excelsior. It had a plunger rear suspension. He seemed to think it was added on as the others that he knew of all had ridged rear ends. Maybe it was a rare one . It was an ex Isle of Man bike. I think he sold it in 1950 to make way for us kids. Dad still lives in Bunbury aged 96.
