He's mentioned in the piece in this link:

I have Super 8 footage (now on a DVD) from Mondello Park, circa 1968; unfortunately it's of cars, not bikes/sidecars.
Have you tried contacting Mondello Park owner, Martin Birrane, or the publicity people at the track to see if the have any archived material.

Hi, i have looked high and low for more information on your father and sadly i did not do that well. But all is not lost, i have a few links that might help to piece together a portfolio. So if you email or write to the letters page of some motorcycle publications and they also might have some archive material has well on him. Also it might be worth going to a few motorcycle memorabilia sales has well, might get a few programs and pictures there. Well best of luck

scroll down on the page and there is a black and white one scanned from a magazine, posted on the site from someone in California, you may be able to contact this person, and gain other images from the magazines
