Chief Constable Mike Langdon is to be the new Chief Marshal for T.T. 2008.
The announcement was made by Tourism Minister Adrian Earnshaw during today's House of Keys sitting questions.
Mr Langdon will replace Roger Hurst who resigned after criticism from Coroner Michael Moyle at the end of the inquest into the three deaths at the 26th Milestone during last year's Senior T.T..
Mr Earnshaw says the appointment of Mr Langdon is very positive for the event's future:-

When did Tom Loughridge's old mate cease to be Manx Chief Constable?
And what does Mr Langdon know about marshalling?
Surely we need knowledge and, especially, experience?

RE: new chief marshal
We have experience Larry, in the form of all the Marshals that sign on.
Mike Culverhouse, Roger Hurst, Mike Langdon, You, Me, Cargo, Witch..makes no odds, one person in the role of Chief Marshal does not make the event any better or worse.
Maybe we will see the police at the roadside again?, which can only be a good thing.

RE: new chief marshal
Question, Is the Chief Marshals job a paid post, if so the Chief Constable is moonlighting, against the law for a police officer to take a second job, could be wrong. Anyway good luck to him

No he was not.
Paul
His own words on the radio, its my full time job????
Well who was he employed by?????
Any truth in that the Clerk of the Coarse for the TT races at the S100 coarse has withdrawn his services over issues with the ACU and the safety of the starts and the Chief scrutineer for the TT will not be available for the race week

Roger was simply expressing the fact that he worked (voluntarily) a full week (more than, I think). He was not implying he was paid.

Blimey FC you're a ray of sunshine. Always looking on the brightside in your posts. Do you actually like the TT?
Anyway, I heard that due to ACU and S100 disputes that the whole course was having to be re-surfaced in alternately coloured stripes of tarmac to match the colours Eddie Nelson's face and Phil Taubman's van.
And I have it on good authority that part of Audi's deal to provide the course cars has resulted with sidecars having to be add and extra wheel to allow their famous "Quattro" system to be used.
Also, a DTL sniper was responsible for the Kennedy assassination as apparently he was against allowing 2 stroke machinery into the 1964 senior.
