Albert Archibald Windmill (5 June 1915 – 5 March 2007) was a British motorcycle speedway rider who rode for Hackney Wick Wolves in the 1930s and Wimbledon Dons and Walthamstow Wolves after World War II.[1]

Career

Originally from Watford, Windmill began his racing career in grasstrack at Barnet in 1934.[2] His first experience of speedway was at Birmingham in 1936, signing shortly afterwards for Hackney Wick.[2] He stayed with the Wolves until the start of World War II in 1939, spending the war years in the Royal Air Force.[2]

After being demobbed he opened Windmill Garage in Hemel Hempstead, and returned to speedway with Wimbledon,[3] where he scored 11 points in his first match and spent the season at reserve, averaging 3.80.[2][4][5] He moved on to Walthamstow Wolves at the start of the 1949 season.[6][5] When the Wolves closed down at the end of 1951 he moved on to Southern League club Aldershot for his final season, retiring at the end of 1952.[7]

Windmill represented England in the 1939 Test series against the Dominions.[7]

In his later years, Windmill became president of the Veteran Speedway Riders' Association.[7]
