speedyguy Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I am pretty certain that Harold Tapscott at Hastings in 1948/49 was an Australian. Can anyone confirm? Â Any info as yet on what happened when Owen Gyles had his accident at Easter 1948? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyguy Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Two names in Australian list I query. Â (1) Bill Landels. Was he not Scottish? Â (2) Phil 'Tiger' Hart. He was from Balham, south London. Went to Oz as a teenager around 1926, met up with Steve Langton and took to speedway at Toowoomba, Queensland in 1927. Both were in the first wave of Aussie riders to Britain in 1928. Â Later, Hart was selected to ride for Australia but insisted he was English. In the later 1930s I am certain he was selected for England at Division Two level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyguy Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) More on Phil Hart. In 1938, he rode for the Dominions against England - but the records (on Brian Collins' excellent site) make it clear that he was listed as England! Â And - it could only happen in speedway! - in 1939 Hart rode in several tests for England against the Dominions!

Grave Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Two names in Australian list I query. (1) Bill Landels. Was he not Scottish?  <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  You might be right. Did he emigrate? Could even be a soundalike that rode.  Happy if my assumption is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
