Thx,willam02. My favourite picture from your site is the one showing Henk Faanhof autographing the flyer.

Faanhof finished 76th that year. In 1954 he won the TdF stage to Bordeaux. That year, BTW, the TdF started in Amsterdam. Wout Wagtmans arrived at the starting line in his Porsche and promptly won the first stage:
