Many years ago, back when Cammy Velos and Manx Nortons were still
winning serious races, Ross Pirani (Aussie) used to enter them, esp.
IOMTT. (Say, late 1950s - 1960s)

Has anyone any news of him?

Thanks. I did a search on his name and got zero hits...

Just did another similar search and found that, with a link to
(presumably) his passenger.

If my information is right, he came over here several times, but that
was from hearsay 'on the circuit'.

I'll have to find someone on Twitter to try to contact him. (No - I am
*not* going to subscribe...)
