Any idea what the logo on Spike's helmet might be?

There is now debate that this is NOT Spike Rhiando (despite the signature bottom right og photo) but is then Belle Vue star Charlie Pashley. In the interim, here is a post-war photo of Rhiando when he raced with success in the 500cc formula on the big circuits. Spike called this car 'The Flying Banana.'Attachments:

have tried to upsize the photo originally said to be Spike Rhiando but now though to be Charlie Pashley. So far, no luck in finding a similar photo of Pashley.Attachments:

Also there is a photo of Charlie Pashley “just in case Rod can’t remember what his dad looks like!” Kind regards, Trevor Chater.

Administrators photo at left hand side of main pic id Ginger Pashley, I didn't mean the main photo. The original photo from Speedway Star February 12 1977. This should settle the matter - once and for all. The article was by motor sport historian Cyril May - a writer much respected for his accuracy. The photo update comes from haflinger121.Attachments:
