It really is a shame that all his hard work lead to no personal involvement in what eventually transpired.

I gather that in more recent times Martin has been involved in organising rallies in Britain on behalf of the Jewish charity JNF, which is concerned with environmental projects in Israel.
Hi Dave, Gerry here again. yes Martin does a lot of work for the Jewish people I believe. He found religion in a big way I am led to understand. No the Opposite Lock club has long gone. I am so pleased that people do remember Martin Hone in his racing days, he really is the father of the Birmingham Race Scene. He should never be forgotten. Incidentally does anyone have any photographs or video of that day in the 1970s that started it all off? I would pay of course. It was a day to remember, and possibly never to be repeated. Any info drop me a private line. Gerry SWISH Taylor.
