cpbyles Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 A shot in the dark this one. Recieved the following email from the wife of of former Exeter and Newport Rider Peter Ingram: Have just been surfing your page and have decided to ask a favour. My husband, Peter Ingram rode for the Exeter Falcons for the 1971 -1972 seasons before moving to Newport to gain experience on a smaller track. He came back to Australia at the end of 1973 with the intention of going back to Newport. To cut a long story short, a number of personal events occurred resulting in the decision not to return the UK. All of Peters gear, machinery, photographs were left with a former supporter and never made it back to Australia. I know its a long shot but I was wondering if any of your readers or supporters might have any information. As far as Peter is concerned it is all in the past and he has moved on to bigger and better things. Whilst this attitude might be commendable I know our children and grand children would love to see some photographs. Peter has talked about (in the past) an action shot taken at Newport that he was very fond of. Mike Patrick has been very helpful and sent us some lovely portrait shots taken in the pits at Exeter but we don't know the name of the photographer at Newport. Anyone have any thoughts on this one ?

Railway End Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 (edited) Ray Page was the chap that took the photos at Newport back when Peter was riding for Newport. He sold all his Newport speedway photos taken at Somerton Park to Tim Stone back in 1997. So if you contact him he may be able to help. Good luck. Say Hi to Peter for me and any news about him?

Peter and his wife are both well and plan to retire in a couple of years and do some travelling. You know what I'm going to ask next - anyone know of an email or contact number for Tim Stone ? Will keep you posted on the progress if any - Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
