Did you notice the guy who finished 44th?  One F. Sheene - Barry's dad?

I think so Sticky, & a Mr. Buckmaster, father of Simon, not sure about the Mcguinness tho' (sorry, Big John!  ), Ivan Rhodes etc.
There's also Ellis Boyce, a chap I met around 35-40 years ago, when I used to deliver to supermarkets in our area. He delivered milk & we used to be at the same place, same time quite often, he never once mentioned his Isle of man exploits, it was only when one of the shop managers told me about it, then I got to talk to him about his time racing, a really nice chap, I believe he moved across to the island when he retired.
