Spoke to Dad and he remembered the accident only too well - says he can still see the bike coming towards him! He was going to retire at the end of that season anyway - the broken arm just brought his retirement forward.
Many thanks to you Railway End for the photos of Dad racing for Newport - cant believe he was once so young, tho I expect it seems like yesterday to him.
Thanks to you all for your memories, it's nice to hear from people who remember
dad's racing days.
