Here is a great batch of historical images from Roger Boothroyd.

 

From Roger: 

 

Here are the first of a number of Mt Douglas Hillclimb pictures that I have.  The first one starting with DAB61F is the start at the bottom of the hill.  Next, DABA25, is another one of an unknown rider going up the hill.  DAB625 is #44 Bill Smith on his Triumph with Stu Timbres standing in the background.   DAVEMO-4 is #23 Joe Brown on (I think) a BSA.  DAVEMO-3 is #18 Jack Heanski on a Matchless.  Next is DAVEMO-2 is no number Ben Hircock Sr. on a Matchless 500.  DAVEMO-1 is #24 Ken Wilkens on a BSA Gold Star with Bill Smith and Stu Timbres (referee) in the background.  All of these were taken in 1958.  33ALBA-1 is a newspaper article about Al Barclay in 1957 and 13ALBA-1 is Al Barclay at the start on his Matchless in 1956.
