Debbie Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I have a DVD of old Milton Keynes footage, which features a race with Brett riding in it [with Bob Humpherys v Oxford]. I could easily rip a copy and send it to the family in Australia, if they would like a copy. Regards Tim Hi I am Debbie Herne; Brett was a very close friend of ours for many years and his mum and dad ; if you have a DVD of Brett we would love to have a copy Brett was always hiding away from having photos taken so we dont have many. My two sons would love to see it also Lee and Jay Brett who was named after Brett i often talk to his mum and dad and passed this on to them thanks Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erasuretim Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Rare footage of Brett Alderton racing for MK Knights can be found here.... There is also a facebook group for "Milton Keynes Knights speedway" [please join] which has contributions from ex riders of the era like Karl Fiala and Martin Dixon. There are lots of pictures and comments that will bring back a lot of memories for people. Among the photos is this one of Brett's bike which has recently been restored and presented to the motor racing museum at Bathurst NSW.

pandelboy Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 hi people just having a look about and picked up on this thread. im the bloke running third in the vid and remember the race quite well. It all brought a lump to my throat as Brett was such a really nice person and although we were not close friends, he was always chatty when we met although only for a brief time for obvious reasons. i was upset badly at the time and also when craig died as well that upset me as we both started riding together at mildenhall as fen tiger cubs in 1976. i remember them both with fond memories.
