Nice one Chris.I watched that race from Bedstead Corner, as I did almost every practice and race in those days.
Actually, Peter, I was looking through my old autograph books today, and I found your signature, from 1972 TT, on the same page as Steve Moynihan, Wally Dawson, Charlie Williams and Chas Mortimer. Also Victor Soussan. Remember him? He only did the TT once, but went on to great achievements in the Grands Prix arena on TZ 350cc.
On the subject of Granty, I do remember him on a Padgett Kawasaki and I'm pretty sure that's the bike he came 3rd on in 1972 Senior. I found his autograph on the same page as Ken Huggett, Danny Shimmin, Ivan Hodgkinson and Paul Smart--signed just "Paul" as he had a broken wrist from the recent North West 200 and had difficulty writing!
I also saw Granty come off the Lee Commando at Signpost along with Keith Heckles on the 1st lap of the 1971 Formula 750. He sat on the hedge to watch the rest of the race. We were down the road at Bedstead and could see him in his green leathers!
