Mick Walker 1942 - 2012

We are sad to learn of the passing of Mick Walker after a long illness.. He was known for all the excellent motorsport books he wrote with absolute accuracy.

It was his book about Bob McIntyre that triggered off my desire to place a commemorative plaque to Bob at the Sulby Glen Hotel.

I feel now that when we unveil the plaque we will also take time to remember Mick.

Condolences to his family and friends...........

We were so very sad when we heard the news that Mick had passed away. His books are used a a source of reference all over the world, everything he wrote was thoroughly researched. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Thank you Mick for your encouragement and many years of friendship. Pat.
