Peddlar Palmer

Recommended Posts

Bumping this one back up with sad news unfortunately......

Ernest passed away on 28th December, a couple of months short of his 99th birthday, as reported by Phil White on social media. Apparently he (Ernest) was a veteran of D Day and Normandy, so a great hero off track too. 

RIP (Race In Peace) :cry:

In 1956, when I had good contacts with Aldershot, I tried to persuade Pedlar Palmer to make a racing return and even offered - thanks to Pat Flanagan - the loan of a bike. But after several days of consideration, Pedlar declined the offer

It's always of interest when old-time speedway characters like Ernest 'Pedlar' Palmer are remembered. As the saying somehow goes "...they don't make them like that any more ..."!
