Stuart R Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 A good day out with lots of planes in the sky too. Whilst clearing up, we found a small Triumph leather key fob. Looks like it has unwound itself from a key ring as the leather hoop and stitching is all intact. If it's yours, please identify the model of Triumph that's engraved on it and I'll try and get it back to you. (Or maybe someone treated themselves to a new fob at the TSSC stand and their discarded one escaped from our bin in the wind!) Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
