Does anyone have any colour details - or preferably a photo or two - of 2 particular Formula 2 cars from 1967-70? The first is the Lotus 48 sponsored by Herts and Essex Aero Club and campaigned by Jackie Oliver in 1967-8. Secondly, the (I believe) John Coombs Brabham, as driven by Jackie Stewart at Thruxton on August Bank Holiday 1970?
F2 colour details required please

I always imagined that the Herts and Essex Aero Club Lotus was painted in the works colours of green with a yellow stripe, widening around the nose.

BT30-17 photographed at Rouen here, http://www.oldracing...es/brabham/bt30 but it may not give you all the detail you are looking for.

The blue on those pictures from l'Automobile is too dark: Gerard's picture at ORC shows the correct colour.

Jack Brabham in very strange helmet - without stripe!
This looks like the same helmet he wore at Monaco 5 weeks later, by which time the stripe was added.
I wonder if Pau was the first time he wore it.

Great photo, brings back memories of the "summer of love" and a very sunny August Bank Holiday Monday F2 meeting at Brands with both graded (stars) and ungraded drivers racing, a great summers day out. Good to see the colours of Herts & Essex Aero Club again
