I haven't the foggiest - could be?
It's the same bloke in this photo (post #8469) who was identified as either Jeff Crookbain or Chris Bladon. I can find no record of Crookbain racing in the Island so I don't think it's him and Chris' Seeley had an all blue fairing.

Very good Robin, well remembered! Chris Bladon.
I'm not sure it's him, I only recall his bike having an all blue fairing.

A similar helmet design - rekon it probably is. Having said that Peter Gibson's early seventies Seeley had a blue and white fairing.....I'm not sure it's him, I only recall his bike having an all blue fairing.

Although at first glance it looks a bit like a Coleshill bike (ie. Brian Coleshill, former sponsor of Alan Barnett amongst others on Seeleys), other photos in the series suggest it was taken at a MGP in the seventies. The TT Database shows Chris Bladon entered in the Manx GP on a Seeley in '74, '75 and '76.I'm curious to know who this is - any ideas? It's either at the TT or MGP.
Thanks!
So Robin - I reckon you have nailed it !
