Bob Bryson: Yes, I am still working on Nuclear Power stations, currently in Suffolk, very sad to hear about Julie Bayley, I have some fond memories of Julie and Derek when we were racing all those years ago, my last race with Derek was the 1986 French Grand Prix, It seems a long long time ago, but good memories

If I can remember correctly it was the post TT, at Mallory Park, it was a 20 lap race and we had a good ding dong with Jock and Clever Trevor, I think that the lap record was broke several times in the race, and I was completely knackered after the race. we were leading on the last lap approching the esses and Jock Taylor cut the corner, went on the grass and passed us just before the hairpin. I was sure he would bin it, but as usual he just kept going and got to the line first, great race
