"He used to own a very nice JP 500 [ bought as a “ Cooper” for £250 ] in the 1960s. Long range tank over driver’s legs plus dry sump ali barrel JAP. Sprinted at Church Lawford & Poddington [ before it became Santa Pod ]. I am also told he owns the Cannon GT and that he was at Snetterton the other weekend helping some one with a single seater."
If anyone has contact details please send me a PM so I can pass this onto my friend.
Thanks.

Is that the same John Bailey who had a D-type Jaguar for a long time? May still have it for all I know, which means he might be contactable through one of the Jaguar clubs
Sorry David I don't have that information.

I wonder if this enquiry was ever resolved?
1962: Late September?
"..at Podington Airfield,
John Corfield was fastest in 60.20 secs.,
with his Terrier-Ford, in spite of the
presence of Bob Anderson with a works
Lotus-Ford 22 (true, the Lotus was worried
all day with gearbox maladies)."
Autosport, 22 February 1963.
Michael Kettlewell, 1962 Seasonal Survey, Hill-Climbs and Sprints.
Did Autosport cover this event? What date?
Note: Podington, only one 'd'.
More Terrier history.

The Cannon A30 was featured in Autosport, 1 January 1954:
"Cooper Chassis and Austin A30 Engine — An
Interesting Vehicle Designed by Michael Cannon"
"Michael Cannon, a young Tas-
manian who has made a consider-
able reputation for himself
in the trials world since he came to this
country to take up farming after the
war,..."
But not the same car as here: https://forums.autos...1964-cannon-gt/

Many thanks. Any other early dates at Podington?

Going back to the Poddington /Podington issue both the village and the RAF base only had/have a single d.
