 A real master piece! But a short lived one - this 1.5 cwt birthday cake was gobbled up at the 59 Club last Saturday. The cake a faithful replica of Brands, was baked by Arthur Keen, of Cranbrook Kent. Fiddly work, the icing was left to well - known cake artist "Jiminy", of the Crimony Company, Twickenham. Complete down to the pits, railings and controll tower (there's even "oil" on the track!) the cake was 48in long, 28in wide and 12in deep.

 Phil Read’s comeback Isle of Man TT ride couldn’t have been more unpopular among the TT cognoscenti, many of whom held him largely responsible for the Island races losing their World Championship status. With the inaugural Formula 1 Championship, decided on just one race in the Isle of Man in 1977, Read saw an opportunity to revive his career and take advantage of the generous start money offered by the organisers. Despite the obvious disapproval from sections of the crowd, Read kept his cool and rode his Honda Britain sponsored bike to victory in the weather-shortened race. But even that moment of glory was shrouded in controversy. With speculation that the Honda crew had received a tip off from an official that the flag would go out early, Read stayed out rather than pitting, while his nearest rival, Welshman Roger Nicholls, came in as planned and lost valuable time and with it any chance of victory.
