On 9th December 2010 Lance Corporal Murray Hambro of the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment was going about his duties patrolling Afghanistan on a second tour of duty. Then a case of wrong place, wrong time arose; VERY wrong time. A sizeable roadside bomb went off under their vehicle. Sitting in the turret he was shot up like a cannonball and crumpled to a landing in the distance. Shattered feet, broken neck vertebrae, smashed body. End of story? Not likely for this doughty tankie! During rehab when the docs asked him what his hobbies were and he responded ‘motorcyclin’, they rebutted ‘find another one son’. He’d lost both legs below the knee.
Like some latter day Douglas Bader he’s is back on the saddle, not only riding but racing! And Triumphs at that!

What we have here sir, is a man with an unquenchable spirit. Ride safe son, ride fast, but ride on!
