Rod Coleman

The TT Special 1951 (page 9 dated 4th June 1951) describes Rod Coleman or R.W.Coleman as a "motor-cycle dealer from Wanganui" and is aged 25 years. Also, Rod Coleman is the first official entrant from the New Zealand Auto-Cycle Union and first entered the Isle of Man TT Races in 1949 but did not race due to a crash in practice (TT Special 1953 - page 9 dated 8th June 1953). In an article in respect to New Zealand TT riders in the publication Island Racer 2004 - Page 68, Rod Coleman is decribed as the son of "Canonball Coleman" also from Wanganui who first raced at the 1930 Isle of Man TT but retired from the 1930 Junior and Senior Races. The first New Zealand competitor is also described as Alan Woodman who entered the 1910 Isle of Man TT Races, but lost a leg in a practice crash.

Scottish Flag

I am not quite sure what the problem with the Scottish Flag. I have noticed that with the Scottish Formula 1 driver, David Coulthard the United Kingdom flag is used.

Sources

With the entry for the Snaefell mountain course I have noticed for the description for the Course Names that some of this is directly quoting from the book The Magic of the TT Races by Mac McDiarmid. There is no source given and some of the information is incorrect and spelling mistakes have been transposed from the same book. I have added a template at the bottom of the page and added Keppel Gate and Creg-ny-Baa as seperate enteries. For the entry for Tarquinio Provini, I intially thought that this is from the 2006 Offical TT Programme, but now I am not so sure.

Alan,

Despite a reasonably intensive search of the various databases available to me I haven't been able to find much information about the titles you list below. Very few libraries have holdings of these titles and, consequently, detailed bibliographic records are rare. It seems reasonable to me that these titles are unlikely to have ever featured ISSNs or ISBNs but I cannot guarantee that without reference to the items themselves. The State Library of New South Wales has holdings of issues 5, 7 and 9 of Italian Motorcycles so perhaps an enquiry to that institution might be informative. Sorry, I wish I could be more helpful.

Yours sincerely, David Riddell.
