Have you tried the new Drafts feature yet? I just lost a long message today and learned my lesson. It is a good idea to save a draft of any long post you are writing. You can then just keep writing and keep saving a draft, knowing you have a backup if there is a glitch. The draft is automatically deleted when you post the message.

Cheers

Thank you so much, Hutch.  I had no success in my searching.  Although 1923 was a banner year for Douglas, Alec'scontribution to that siccess was disappointing.  Best wishes, Neville

Some more information on Alec's retirement in the Larne Times 22nd September 1923 from British Newspaper Archives.

Hi kttvelo,

I had a quick look on the British Newspaper Archives and found out that Alec Bennett did compete in the 1923 Ulster Grand Prix on a Douglas. I could not find much else about the event or Bennett's involvement in it on the web. Appears he retired after completing one lap in this handicap race. Article and pictures (..not very clear unfortunately) from Belfast News-Letter September 17th 1923.

Some film of the event can be seen here in this newsreel from British Pathe, but I didn't spot Bennett on the Douglas in the race but maybe the Douglas can be spotted in the paddock scene?. Some of the accidents seen in the film may be those reported in the article? (not sure)



Hope this helps,

Cheers

Hutch
