It should have started on June 1, 1978. I have a copy of the Motor Cycle of June 3 of that year. Headline "Manx Ferry Fiasco" -now where have I heard that before!

Nice picture of John and Hilary in Race Gossip, think I will drop the copy ver to them. Saw Hilary in physio last week, she's coming to with a few adjustments needed to the hardware.
