Racing on Andreas Airfield
Jack Wood passes the control tower at the Andreas Airfield in the early 1950s. Most of the entry were on road or trials/scrambes machines. In the 1960s the Andreas Racing Association (hence the name) wered due to race there, but last-minute hitches meant a change of venue to Jurby, another WWII aerodrome

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1950s, capturing a thrilling moment of racing on Andreas Airfield. Jack Wood fearlessly zooms past the control tower, showcasing his exceptional skills as he competes in this exhilarating event. During that era, most participants entered the race with road or trials/scrambles machines, adding an extra layer of challenge to their adrenaline-fueled pursuit. The atmosphere must have been electric as spectators cheered on their favorite racers and witnessed these daredevils push themselves to the limit. Interestingly, in the 1960s, the Andreas Racing Association had planned to hold races at this very airfield - hence its name association. However, unforeseen last-minute hitches forced them to change venues and relocate to Jurby, another WWII aerodrome with a rich history of speed and competition. The image itself captures not only the intensity of racing but also serves as a testament to the importance of preserving historical moments like these for future generations. It reminds us of a time when passion for speed and adventure brought people together against breathtaking backdrops. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from BikeSport TT Race Pics collection, let's appreciate both Jack Wood's incredible feat on Andreas Airfield and how it represents an era where motorsport enthusiasts embraced challenges head-on while leaving lasting imprints in our memories.
