Just to say - before anyone else asks - I'm (sadly) not related to the late Bill Boak.

As far as I know, I've no relatives at all on the IoM - and very few anywhere else, for that matter.

My Uncle (Arthur Roberts) was in the RAF with Fron Purslow (rider in the 50s who later owned a dealership in Shrewsbury,) and George Gelling (part of the team who built the Peel P50 cars). He visited the island several times, but never lived here, I'm afraid, although I'm now trying to arrange a trip over here for him. He's in Canada these days.

Anyway, if you knew my uncle and want to get back in touch (or have any tales you can tell me about their exploits... ('') ) then please let me know.

Off to Billown now - got to set off early in case of difficulties at Ballacraine customs.....
