Here from Brian Catt's collection is a much needed one of Mick Andrews on his 250 OSSA on Staircase which only looked easy!. A Kind & helpful Message follows from SERAFIN who helped us identify "Staircase". : By the way, we will ride that section today at 21 hours in the evening. We do it only one time a year, in the summer when the temperatures go down. Today is the day I do not believe they could go up over there with those bikes, they were supermen. It is 2 km of rocks like basketballs going up, corners, more rocks, 1 meter step, 200 meters of more rocks etc. In the half distance there is one big rock section inclined 30-45 degrees across the path you have to pass it with the right momentum, if not you will slide to the right 1 meter fall. If it is wet, forget to go there.
Only I believe they were there because the photos.:- SERAFIN.

After the Speed Trial at the twisting Jerez Circuit L2R all listed to be on Triumphs not Cheney Triumphs Mick Wilkinson 504cc, Jim Sandiford 504cc next, thought to be Malcolm Rathmell listed as 400cc in Programme, probably 490? his bike not in pic, then Ken Heanes504cc John Pease (prog. says 501cc) probably 504cc next is thought to be Colin Dommett who rode the spare machine listed as 400 as per Rathmell's machine. Great stuff from Brian Catt
