My Grandad A L HOWITT riding a Scott (possibly Flying Squirrel) was in this race in the Seniors in 1934 & 1935 sadly DNF in both races. His ambition was to ride again in the TT but my Gran put her foot down and said No. I'm trying to find out more about why he DNF in both 1934 & 35 MGP and the exact model of bike he rode.

Next upload (probably early next month) will be of the 1935 races. Hopefully you can spot your Grandad!
