An Aussie friend, Alan Burt, spent many, many months in Nobles after a serious coming off at Ramsey in the fifties. He survived to be able to race again in classic racing during the seventies and 80's, al beit with very damaged legs and although this caused him some grief it was obvious that the nursing staff had done a remarkable job in those days also. They are certainly worth their weight in gold. I have met a couple of nurses here, locally, who have worked at Nobles and I know they all have the greatest respect for the TT riders.
