Apologies for delayed reply, when I mentioned Fred Tuck I'd forgotten about Frank, shame on me, especially as he top scored for Swindon '52. I bought this jacket from W. Clarke of Knowle so it's probably Frank's. His son Richard had rides for Swindon, Milton Keynes and Weymouth '77 '78.

I've got an ancient Bristol Bulldogs race jacket with F on the back, could it be Fred Tuck?

H J Pugh auctions Ledbury once again includes speedway and grasstrack bikes and parts in the motorcycle sale on the 19 and 20 November.

Have to say it's great to see bikes going round with big wheels and no dirt deflectors.

I assume you know that methanol used to be known as wood alcohol.

Fine site, Giles responds to Hastings Closure.

I do, thanks for the info.

A 1928 Swindon Autodrome program sold today at Barber's auction, £520 hammer price.

I gave it a like, good to watch again, filmed in 1951 surely?

Also, he scored eight points in his first world final.

I first went to Cradley in '64, age 14, sidekick to a novice rider, didn't get a pork sandwich but got stuck into the Stingo in the bar after the meeting. Have to say we loved going up there and found it real warm and friendly and always had a good time.

Apologies for misleading people, I was alluding to resizing and posting photos ("if anyone can do it") definitely not riding speedway, something I would never joke about. However I have had a go and your right, I am tall, here's a Mick Kilby pic.of me at the Mike Broadbank training track '67.

Not me, it's a modern pic from the U.S.A. rider unknown. A 22" rear wheel it is for sure, which were used there long after they were banned here, when Martin Ashby first rode over there they were still in use then.

If I can do it, anyone can.
