I hope this isn't off the mark. I once had an 8-speed Dawes Windrush from 50+ years ago. The frame was made with Reynolds 531 straight gauge tubing. It came with Benelux derailleurs ('70s replacement Simplex RD seen in picture below), GB stem and bars, and a Miller generator light set. Nice, solid ride. It was a bit too small for me, though, and I replaced it with a similar type bike with a larger frame. The Windrush was the model available prior to the Galaxy, which I think first appeared in around 1964(?).
