Hello again Bill,
I have just come across a series of photos on the Flickr website belonging to Jeff 'bubbles44' showing a few shots of the 1933 IOM TT Lightweight machines. Jeff tells me his father sailed across with a few friends and took these photos:

He has kindly given me permission to post them on here.

Of particular interest to me is the Cec Weatherby machine photo below:



I am not sure when this photo was taken but it appears pre-race given Cec's clothing and the happy demeanour (He did not finish the race!).

There appears to be some anomalies with the photo of this machine compared to the photo posted by Bill above. Firstly there is no number on the rear in Bill's photo and I just cannot makeout the number on the front in Bill's photo but it doesn't look like 31.

Also there appears to be some attachment to the oil tank filler in Jeff's photo that does not appear in Bill's photo and in Bill's photo there is a second rear higher footrest that Cec no doubt used once in top gear that is not visible in Jeff's photo.

Can anyone provide some info on the numbering of these bikes pre-race and after. And could Cec be on another bike for the after race shots.

Perhaps someone with a program may be able to identify the number of Cec's bike in that race.

Again any help appreciated.

Regards,
Peter Shannon
