Sad to hear this. It seems many of the postings now are to let the forum know of the passing of a racer, tuner or entrant these days.
I also noticed that Selwyn Griffiths passed away early Jan. See here https://southern100....iffiths-passes/ and https://www.abergave...riffiths-755321
I personally don't know too much about Paddy Reid, and although some of the more well known racers get obits I looked for one for Paddy and couldn't find anything. Perhaps we could try and use the forum as a place to give those who didn't get one in the main press. I certainly would like to hear about Paddy.

There was an obit in the Manx papers and on Manx Radio website. A great picture of him in the 73 Senior. I got to know Paddy a bit through my racing and also caught up with him at various shows. A great guy. Part of the successful RAFMSA teams of the time. Fellow RAFMSA team member Dave Arnold won the 73 Lightweight which was my first MGP.
