Interesting to see both Charlie and Colin smiling. I vividly remember a long 'conversation' with Charlie in September 1966. He said very little, with a lot of one word answers and comments. He maintained a solemn expression throughout. I had several chats with Colin over the years, when he was still riding, in his promoter's office, when he was sitting watching racing at Wolverhampton in later years, at the local hospital and when he was relaxing at home. He was very studious and not prone to smiling, except at home when he was transformed into a completely different humerous, laughing character. Two fine riders, i had great respect for both of them.
