In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorcycle racing in 1939. The legendary Jock West takes center stage as he prepares for the Senior TT, a race that would go down in history. Mounted on his supercharged BMW, Jock exudes confidence and determination, ready to conquer the challenging Isle of Man circuit. Although fate had other plans for him that day, with George Meier ultimately clinching victory, Jock's remarkable talent shone through as he secured an impressive second place finish. Little did anyone know then that this race would mark a turning point not only in Jock's career but also in the annals of motorsport history. After World War II ravaged Europe and left its scars on countless lives, it was Jock West who embarked on an extraordinary mission. Determined to preserve the legacy of the Senior TT trophy and honor those who fought valiantly during wartime, he ventured into Germany where he discovered it hidden away within a factory. With unwavering dedication and patriotism burning within him, Jock successfully returned the cherished trophy to its rightful home in the United Kingdom. His selfless act became symbolic of unity amidst adversity and served as a testament to his unyielding spirit. This print captures not just a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to one man's indomitable willpower and love for his country. It serves as a reminder that heroes can be found both on and off the racetrack –
