Well, that’s the idea anyway… ManWords STEVE WESTLAKE Photography JUAN TRUJILLO AupNDRADES iming is everything. It’s 7.30am on a crisp Saturday morning in September and the sun is rising over Douglas Bay on the east coast of the Isle of Man. The wide beach stretches to a glassy sea and a few dogs and their walkers amble almost imperceptibly on the sands near the distant waterline. If this was TT fortnight (the two-week period where the world-famous motorcycle races take over the island) the entire 3km of Douglas promenade would be crammed with every kind of superbike, Harley-Davidson, trike and offroader, and the emerging day would already be revving with race fever. Now, though, it’s wonderfully tranquil.

Three quarters of an hour later Laura Mearns, who organises the sportive with husband Joe, is getting the event under way. ‘Five, four, three, two, one, GO!’ she yells, but instead of a mass surge from the start, a single rider pedals briskly away to begin his three 60.73km (37.73-mile) laps of the course. We’re being waved off at 30-second intervals, but this isn’t an attempt to replicate the drama of the TT format (TT actually stands for Tourist Trophy not time-trial).

Plans for the structure proposed to be built or altered in drawing, blue or white paper; 2. Letters from the architect or builder submitting the plan and listing the construction materials to the Local Government Board. The plans are hand drawn and some are coloured with watercolours. They can be complemented by a block plan, which is a sketch, coloured or not, of the property location in the area. The block plan may be in a corner of the same sheet of the main plan. They may be signed or stamped by the architect and are typically marked approved or disapproved by the Local Government Board with a signature and date. The plans and letters are folded and enclosed in numbered envelopes in ascending order. The envelopes also contain a brief title identifying the type of plan, the requester and if it was approved or not. After plan 596, inclusive, the Local Government Board began adding a sticker to the back of the plans which was completed with the date the application was submitted, inspected and approved or not. Some plans in this series predate the timeframe of planning applications as an administrative function. Administrative History: Concern with the organisation and planning of the Isle of Man urbanisation started in the mid-19th century with the promulgation of the Local Government Act in 1886.

In total, he has made 62 trips to the Island. An aircraft engineer by trade, Dave acted as mechanic & refueller for several TT riders. He was a marshal for 21 years, usually at Greeba, where he dealt with numerous incidents. He has restored several vintage British motorcycles and won many awards with his Velocette and Nortons. In 1978, he was accompanied by his friend Dave Whitham and Dave’s young son, Jamie. Inspired by the TT win of the legendary Mike Hailwood, Jamie went on to become a successful professional motorcycle racer. The author pictured in June 1979, with his son, Paul.

  • Centenary of the 37¾ Miles Isle of Man TT Course Home of the World’S Greatest Road Races
    Centenary of the 37¾ miles Isle of Man TT Course Home of the World’s Greatest Road Races Issue date: 30th September 2020 The Isle of Man Post Office is pleased to present a set of eight stamps to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 37¾ mile Isle of Man TT Course. Providing a then and now look at the Course, we picture the vantage points where fans have gathered in their thousands to witness best in class road racing. Adrian Earnshaw writes… Sky-high emotions will have accompanied the spectators, competitors and teams who gathered for the 1920 TT Races; the first event following the return of peace in November 1918. At last, the Island was again buzzing with excitement that the British motorcycle industry was back in business, making motorbikes instead of munitions and eager to showcase their latest products at the TT. Six long years had elapsed since Cyril Pullen and his Rudge had crossed the winning line in 1914 and, sadly, some familiar faces had departed the scene forever. Happily, however, more than twenty new ones were stepping up to take their place, among them Graham Walker, George Dance, Bert le Vack, Gus Kuhn and Rueben Harveyson, all of whom would eventually feature highly in the motorcycle hall of fame. To add to the anticipation of this first post-war event, a significant change in the TT Course was adopted to give spectators in the Island’s capital the thrill of seeing machines travel at high speed along Glencrutchery Road. This was achieved by adding Signpost Corner, Bedstead Corner and Governor’s Bridge to the route, following the ascent from Hillberry and replacing the pre-war section which had involved competitors turning right at Cronk-ny-Mona and proceeding down Johnny Watterson’s Lane to its junction with Ballanard Road where a left hand turn had been taken to join the top of Bray Hill.
