Hello Emma & Jude, just a minor point on the biography. L.F. Ivin had crashed just before the Gooseneck and his bike came to rest in the road and on the racing line. Next rider to arrive was James Davie who was unable to avoid the bike and was thrown from his AJS machine sustaining injuries from which he died in the ambulance taking him to Ramsey Cottage Hospital. - Paul Bradford Report this
