Hooked Up

This is Henry Tyrell-Smith in the 1929 Senior, at the Isle of Man TT. By the fourth lap his Rudge was three minutes ahead when he crashed at Glen Helen. He re-mounted and still managed to finish 3rd despite leg injuries and three cracked ribs; just 50 seconds behind a Sunbeam in 2nd. The place seems to propagate madmen. Gary is there now. BP
