Creg ny Baa spectators in 1957

Thousands of day-trippers arrived on Senior TT day, 1957, to watch Bob McIntyre set the first ton lap of the Mountain coure. Many of them made their way to the Creg. The last lap action shows John Surtees slipping past Bob Mac on the run to the finish, but Bob has the advantage on time
