No, that was Mike and Roger (I think) Hesford? Good blokes, I think the passenger passed away quite a while back. Mum will correct the spelling 8-)

There ya goEve!

Pic 1 - Ray and Reg on the startline at Snetterton, next to them is Bob Lloyd and Derek Black, 650 BSA A10 at CRMC 1981

Pic 2 - L to R, me, Eve, Ray, Reg and exit Steve stage right

Pic 3 - Another paddock scene from the same meeting, L to R Ray, Reg, Graham playing in the sand (these days he usually takes a bike with him) and unknown. Unsure which engine rebuild this was but over the two days Ray did three complete rebuilds in typical Snet conditions, breezy, delightful sandy paddock etc etc. For his determination to get out on track he was awarded Sidecar Man of the Meeting :notworthy:

Pic 4 - Steve on the bars, Michelle on the side and Ian pushing.
