Pictures From The Past - April 13Welcome to this week's collection of nostalgia photos from the pages of the Shropshire Star.By Toby NealPublished Apr 13, 2018 CommentsLet's counteract the bad vibes of Friday the 13th with some good luck. This picture captures the moment a marshal was lucky to escape uninjured when he had a close encounter with the combination of Mike Watkins of Bridgnorth at a motorcycle scramble at Hawkstone in July 1968. The marshal was Rob Oakley, of Longden Common, near Shrewsbury, who was to recall: "I had recently returned from an overseas tour in Borneo with the RAF - please note forces issue jungle boots! " He said the reason he was on the floor was that he had already been driven over by an earlier outfit.
