Dear CR
Yet another great mag (#198 July/August) and the where and when picture did indeed get me thinking, so many cross issues to note.
To start, the two Nortons made me think 1973 but then Ago is on a Yamaha so it has to be 1974 (and Sheene without his number 7!), but when in the season?
Well, Peter Williams had his big accident at Oulton Park on the August bank holiday, so it has to be earlier than that.

Paul Smart, number three, had his big crash in the race of the year meeting in September, so ditto. Also 1974 was Percy’s last year on the Triumph Three before his Yamaha move.
Is that the Lincoln Imp Steve Machin (22) sitting behind Peter Williams? Steve was killed in the accident at Cadwell in 1974, so to make a stab at it, I would say the year is 1974.
