Photo ID
Reference the request for ID of a TT photo found by Judith Fuller, I am fairly sure it was taken at the Douglas Bay Hotel and shows the 500cc MV Agustas of John Hartle (2) and John Surtees (4) at the 1959 TT. Standing on the right looks like MV's Lightweight star Tarquinio Provini. Don't know who the other person is. The 1959 Senior was postponed to the Saturday but struck equally poor weather. Surtees won but I think Hartle crashed at Ballagarey. Regards - Geoff Cannell.

Re: Photo ID
Geoff you are probably correct on the photo and i am sure it as you say the old Dougie Bay hotel but you think John Hartle crashed at Ballagarey, could anyone confirm that as its quite fast through there and i think the nickname these days is Ballascarey.
