Hervey Talbot, Brian

Drivers don't perhaps come more obscure than BH Talbot, who almost won the 1939 Leinster Trophy handicap race at Tallaght, having placed 7th in the Antwerp GP earlier in the year, both times in an Aston Martin. These seem to have been his only significant outings.

Bryan Hervey Talbot was from Rhyl in North Wales. He was born on January 15th 1916, son of Lt Col Douglas Hervey Talbot DSO MC and the former Olympia Annette Clarke and attended Marlborough College. Talbot seems to have been a friend of Tony Rolt, as Rolt was in his pit at Tallaght. In 1940, he married Katherine Hughes in Llandudno - they subsequently had three children.

BH Talbot died on June 14th 2008.

Brian had 4 children - 2 boys and 2 girls - and I think also that he had some connection to one of the Bugattis, Romulus or Remus some considerable time ago.
