| Situated in the town of Felton, near Amble in Northumberland, an ambitious project to create a speedway training track was launched in 1978. It was the brainwave of Ken Marshall to try to develop the circuit. | ||||
 |
 |
|||
 |
The team were known as the Flyers throughout their brief history. |  |
||
 |
The track was of length 280 yards and the
circuit was used for Open racing and, more importantly, for traing, from 1978 to 1988.
|
 |
||
 |
The team often had to contest their league matches away from home. |  |
||
 |
This section gives a comprehensive picture of
the badges produced for the team throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of
