"What a coincidence to read the post re the Phillips Speedtrack cycle speedway bike and Welling Wings! Around 1954 or 1955 I owned one of these bikes when riding for several teams run by Vic Duffy who came from Canning Town in east London. The teams included Brockley Boomerangs (where I was captain!) and later Vic tried a brief revival (I think in 1955) of Welling Wings, but this venture was short-lived. I rode for both of these teams - under the name of Jack Brodie."

"Rode a Phillips Speedtrack for two years, whilst riding for Aldershot 'Shots' in 1951 and 1952. Cycle track was in the car park of the Speedway track at neighbouring Tongham. Have several photos on the bike, both stills and in action. Great days, fondly remembered. Also interesting, the £10 17 6 price represented six weeks pay, at the time. Wish I still had the bike."

"I was a member of Waterfoot Wasps cycle speedway team in the late 1950s, we were in a league called Manchester and District Cycle Speedway League we travelled between Waterfoot in Rossendale Lancs to many different parts of Manchester on Saturdays in a local coach operated by a local company.

I was a proud owner of a PHILLIPS Speedtrack bike which I bought from a local bike shop, I was not one of the best riders but i was keen as mustard if i remember correctly the rear tyre was an avon speedway gripster, some things stick in my mind others do not. After a meeting we would then go to BELLE VUE speedway to watch our heroes, I am now 85 years old."
