Yes, Peter Graham Inchley. He did rather well on the Island in 1966 when he finished 3rd behind Mike Hailwood and Stuart Graham on the works Hondas. My Dad was on his self developed AJS single cylinder 250!!!! Infact I think his lap record for a British rider on an all British 250 still stands at 91 mph. I've got his Replica Trophy at home, very treasured it is too.
Hence why I should love to race there myself one day. For those that are interested Dads ashes are just to the left of pole position (0) at Thruxton. I did a few laps on my bike with his ashes because he did rather a lot of work developing Bikes and Karts there through his career. Brilliant engineer he was and damn quick on a bike too. I could hear him saying as I went through the complex - "Is that the best you can do"?
Part of being able to get started with the GT Project was to sell my Bike and as those bikers out there will understand was a difficult move to make! Onwards and upwards.
