ManxTaxPayer Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 A timely reminder of stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTaxPayer Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 By the way, that was from the Tweetbeat page of the IOM police. I notice that it states the tragic incident occurred during the MGP Junior Race. However, the Wiki page list of Isle of Man TT Mountain Course Fatalities records it as occurring during the Senior Race. Does anyone know which one is correct?

joebean Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 It’s rather strange that the Constabulary takes no time at all to issue certificates and take photographs of the smiling Chief Constable shaking hands of Officers who have done their job, but a memorial to an Officer killed on duty takes since 1976 and a long campaign by the family. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think back in those days the two MGP race days were Tuesday and Thursday, with the smaller engine classes run on Tuesday and the larger on Thursdays, so most likely the fatality occurred during the Junior race. This site - http://www.motorsportmemorial.org/update.php?db=ms&y=2006&m=4 - says it was the Junior, so it seems the Wiki page may be incorrect.

According to the FB Constabulary Historian page, someone posted that PC Hamer's widow has not visited the island since shortly after the tragic event occurred, so am not too sure if there was a long campaign by the family. Could they not have erected a memorial themselves, had they so wished? Suggesting that the current chief constable is somehow responsible for the delay is perhaps disingenuous. What about the other chief constables in the intervening 46 years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t identify the current incumbent specifically, but he is rather fond of Constabulary self-congratulation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John received his GONG today at Windsor castle so as a respectable member of the Order of the British Empire he is entitled to retire , he will go down in the history books as one of the all time TT greats he must be in his 50's now , but still can show the young guns a clean pair of heels , he has done much for Honda ,and taken over where Joey left off , good luck to him , I bet he is enjoying himself somewhere in London tonight ! and possibly ex Honda UK boss Bob Mc Millan and some of his old team mates will have joined him and his celebration , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Let's hope he does not die in his 'last' TT, to perpetuate the myth of the Worlds Greatest Road race!!! The 'Oh Joey why did you leave us' as a defense is wearing a bit thin now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old is he now I thought there was an age limit on competitors ?. Wiki says he is 49 (am I the only person who knows how to use google?). The regulations say that: There is a maximum age limit of 40 years of age for a Newcomer competitor applying for an Entry to the Isle of Man TT Races. However, competitors aged over 40 years of age may be accepted at the discretion of the Clerk of the Course. But it seems that once you're accepted you can go on forever.
