Well, Brooklands is obvious. Is the upper left Isle of Man (not foggy enough!)? Those outfit blokes are uncanny. If the lower right is TE Lawrence's retirement cottage, I've actually been there. Brough Superior rider, he was....

Fill in the blanks for me, please.

You're spot on. Brooklands, The Isle on an uncharacteristically pretty day, and the Vincent factory at Stevenage in Hertfordshire back in The Days. And the cottage is indeed Ned Lawrence's homestead of Cloud's Hill in Dorset, and he did indeed appreciate the BrufSup, having owned seven of the Brough SS80 and SS100 machines, with an eighth on order when he died on *George VII,* an SS100.
