He has three profiles on Facebook that I can see. I'll pm you about that 👍

Personal sidecar racing query - 1970's

My first thread here with a bit of a personal cry for help.

My father, who I didn't know for nearly all my life, (he and my mum divorced when I was about 3 and he never made contact again), recently passed away. He has quite a back story, which also includes working in Williams ...
