The company making the headgear here is the very aptly named "Helmets Ltd".
"Several shots of motorcyclists competing in the TT" - No.3 is Roy Evans, No. 8 is Cromie McCandless.
"A rider comes over the finish line; chequered flag is waved. He is probably Geoff Duke" - he IS Geoff Duke. he, and the two previous men named, were all competing in the 1952 Junior TT.
