Beryl Swain - thewitch - 07-06-2007 Beryl, sadly, died very recently. I had tried very hard to find her so she could be properly recognised at this, the 100th anniversary TT. However, I was unsuccessful, and it appears she would not have been able to take part due to infirmity. She was only 71, but I think had crammed a lot into her life. There will be a tribute to her, for the early birds, on Five Live radio, at 6.00 am on Sunday, in Brief Lives. Brief lives - pierre - 07-06-2007 "Brief Lives" is available as a "listen again" item for one week after the original broadcast, in case 06:00 is too early. - Hilary M - 07-06-2007 A short life indeed.It is sad that noboby ever came forward to say that she lived near them,on hearing that she was sought after.Well done Helen - Don Simons - 08-06-2007 Beryl and Gwen will certainly have plenty to talk about up there. Beryl was the first woman solo rider at the IOM TT on a 50cc in 1962. - Anonymous - 08-06-2007 I was lucky enough to see you tackling the mountain circuit, it only seems like yesterday RIP. Beryl.
