Scene of Car Smash at Ballystockart in Ulster International T. T. Race 1929
Two men were killed and five men injured - Photo by ... J. or G. Kilpatrick, 101 Great Victoria Street,
Belfast
"At Ballystockart, where the road passed close by another bridge on the now-defunct railway, caught out a number of drivers. The first Ards TT fatality occurred here in 1929, when Frank Clark crashed his OM and
Grindlay’s Triumph Super Seven, the first car on the scene, skidded into marshals who were trying to move it. Clark and an official were killed."

R.A.C. - J. GALBRAITH ESQ.
10th March 1930 J. Galbraith, Esq., Armagh Road, Portadown, Northern Ireland - Dear Sir, In compliance with your request I have pleasure in sending you a copy of the R.A.C. map of the main roads of England and Wales showing Ministry of Transport numbers and intermediate mileages, etc., and I trust that it will be of service to you. At the same time I venture to enclose a booklet setting out the advantages to be derived from Associate-Membership of the R.A.C.  The service which the R.A.C. offers is specially designed to meet the needs of motor cyclists, whose interests are served by a Motor Cycle Department staffed by motor cyclists. The R.A.C. "Get You Home" Service again is the only safeguard against being stranded on the road. The annual subscription of £1 for Motor Cycle Associate-Membership, without entrance fee, included the free use of the Badge. I offer you a cordial invitation to join the Club and suggest that you fill in the form and send it to me with the subscription when I shall be pleased to send you the Badge and "Get You Home" vouchers, etc., forthwith. Yours faithfully, F. A. Armstrong, Secretary

Please return at your convenience. Sorry photo won't take the ink properly. The photo was taken by Mr. Murphy 2 or 3 years ago. I was standing in front of the Old Timers, assembled at Donnybrook, ready to lead them off. The steering centres shoot the ground a little in front of the perpendicular and it was the first safety I ever saw ridden hand off ridden by Johnny
