Thanks. Yes would be good to get it going with a brake, really hope he can find the fork and will look into the clamp on brake option. Never run tubs before and am not very keen!

If the rake is 35 or so, it will be easy to find a used fork many road frames have a rake like so.
May be cheaper than clamp on brake which is going to set you back £60-80 unless you get lucky on used.Tubs are great in a way, I like them, but mounting/fixing is a hassle, I've fixed and stitched on myself, but the mounting is bloody hard. (gluing is fun though, remember school arts and craft?)
Cracking little frame though!
EDIT: I recall a fillet brazed Omega ex Danish female track cyclist on the bay from ages ago...very little info on them alas. Fillet brazing isn't easy to get nice either.

That's very nice, and the fork looks like it has a road rake, so it will be easy to find another one cheapz (or Crabon if you must) if owner can't find it. Alternatively a Dia Compe clamp-on front works too.
I would advice against tubulars in wet weather/other p_nctr happy conditions, unless you don't mind using foam to fill holes. I've cycled them and on glass filled roads you will get flats...at the worst time, of course, as you do :)
