1962 for me too, on a school holiday. We stayed at Port Erin (I can't remember where) but I do remember we flew to the Island from Squires Gate near Blackpool in a Douglas Dakota. We watched the Junior race at Ballacraine which resulted in a win for my hero then and now Mike Hailwood. 31 years later I was lucky enough to start racing there myself, not as well as Hailwood though!!!
