I've just been reading about a retired fisherman in 'Caravan' magazine, June 1950, who lived in Cornwall in what looks to be a Paladin Wisdom. I also liked the attached ad ('Caravan', July 1950) in which the artist has made the caravan look almost house-sized!

| Many thanks for the Paladin info, it will be a great help with the restoration. I'm hoping to find when the model was introduced, I know when the 'New Wisdom' came in |

| To be honest on the Paladin I'm convinced the hitch is 1 1/2 inch and they have measured across the bottom |

| The very first picture brought back memories. My parents had a Berkeley Messenger when I was about 5 years old. |
