..Pete tells me the colour pics with the black ' Circular edging" were taken by holding his camera up to a pair of binoculars and , oh, the figure resting on the grass by the truck is Graham hill..
That's an outstanding photo of Graham McRae, atmospheric and one of the few of his face. So many photos of him are of his back view.
Agree Shano

That was the year I was invited to sit in the commentary box to give the odd insight into what was going on. I also arranged for David Oxton, without a drive after Chris Amon took over his car, to join us as an "expert witness". The principal commentator was Keith McEwan who, when we went on air, said something along the lines of, "Welcome to the Lady Wigram Trophy. With me in the commentary box is Dave McKinney. Over to you, Dave". And that's the last we heard from Mr McEwan!
I think Keith McEwan was more at home commentating the rugby David, good job he had an expert on handOriginally Posted by David McKinney
Exactly. I just wish he'd given me some warning
Bump, for those who haven't seen these.
