Interesting trackside group...noise monitoring? One lap to go point?

[Ray Bell]

Please, Mick...

They're holding cameras with long lenses, they are located between the flag points prior to the Causeway, neither of your suggestions apply.

There was no noise monitoring in 1964 anyway.

[275 GTB]

Please, Ray...there is only so much of your vast knowledge that us mere mortals can handle...

The fella sitting on what is probably a camera case might have a long lens in hand

Moving Right to Left,

the female looking person far right seems to be holding a sign...
the fella with his back to camera, seems to playing a baby grand...but could be some sort of console (like noise monitoring for an OB)
the fella with dark glasses watching the cars that have passed, seems to have a directional mic or flag available...OB sound pick up or yellow flag relay?

Mick, when I am back at my computer that have these pics stored on it, I will magnify the original in that area to see if we can see more clearly what is going on there.

I zoomed in on the pic and that's my best guess...although, my imaginary friend did agree with me...except that she did say that what I thought was a sign could have been a wind barrier/sound deflector for beside the directional mic...but I thought that unlikely.

Thanks Steve, I did zoom in but a higher resolution shot is likely to tell us more

[Ray Bell]

It might just be flag point M1, which was later done away with...

It's an odd crowd there with the woman and all, but could that be a yellow flag she's holding?

A photographer joining the flaggies wouldn't be unexpected either.

So we have changed our tune have we Ray?

[Ray Bell]

I was looking at the wrong picture, Mick...

The photographers on the outside of the curve.

[275 GTB]

Sure...anyone could make a simple mistake like that...but you, with your encyclopaedic brain?

[Steve Holmes]

Here you go Mick. Sorry, it just blurs out.

[Ray Bell]

Yes, definitely a flag point and flaggies... and 'visitors'...

The clearer pic shows it's not a woman, too, rather a man in shorts and long socks.

[275 GTB]

Thanks Steve...just like a lot of things in my life at the moment...just blurs out

[Greg Mackie]

Here you go Mick. Sorry, it just blurs out.

The chap in the dark glasses, looking towards the Cortina. looks very much like Ray Berghouse to me. There seems to be a camera hanging around his neck, in Berghouse fashion.

Thanks Greg...you wouldn't know the pre-Zeiss model and serial numbers by chance?

[Greg Mackie]

Crikey Mick, how did you know that !

[275 GTB]

Crikey Mick, how did you know that !

The camera is still in its beautiful leather case...so you wouldn't have been able to take the numbers!

[Ray Bell]

I think you'll find it's a bit too early for Bergy...

[Greg Mackie]

Isn't it enough for you to query everything on TNF, Mr Doubting Thomas [AKA Know-It-All] ?
