Previously I entered the Date as being Easter 1977, it was in fact Easter 1978, the corner is Hell Corner at the Mount Panarama Circuit, Bathurst in New South Wales, Australia. Fanastic Web Site, I will be in Spain next year and will drop in to Hailwood Lodge.- Rob Donnelly

I think this shot was taken during practice as in the race Mike's Yamaha (along with Warren Willing's and Takai's works bike) was fitted with a 36-litre fuel tank in order to last the full 20 laps without refeulling. - Jim Scaysbrook
