I've just shown a friend of mine the well know picture of Graham Hill handing his googles to Jo Siffert, as Jo sits in his car, parked by the side of the track. My mate looked and said, "I'm sure I've seen this before" and then showed me the same incident, but taken from the rear of the cars, and in colour. He then proceeded to show me the same incident from the other side of the track (he's promised to scan these for me/us). That made me think of the oft seen footage of Donald Campbell flipping Blue Bird K7 at Coniston, and then my surprise when the Canadian film crew discovered their "lost" footage of the accident, from the other bank of the lake.

I'll post these when I can, but in the meantime, famous (or maybe not) pictures from more than one angle. Anybody else know/post any others??

See this post and the next few in the thread for a couple of different photos of the Hill/Siffert incident.

That's two of the shots, my mate had a third, from the other side of the track as well.

Steve, Tim - there are a number of shots of that particular incident (as you both obviously know).

Twinny's subsequent comment < "I'm pretty sure that this is an LAT shot; that's Rainer Schlegelmilch in view taking pics - in his pics you can see Mike Tee" > sums it up perfectly. Two great photographers working within yards of each other.

A number of years ago (maybe more than ten, even), I saw some pictures of the terrible Schlesser accident at Rouen that afternoon taken from a different angle. I was intrigued for the simple reason that a) I hadn't seen them before and b) somebody was trying to pull poor Jo away from the inferno by his arm. Never seen them since, thankfully, but it does make you wonder. In the fifties, sixties and seventies there were numerous photographers with track passes snapping away at motor races. It's a certainty that many, if not most, of those pictures have ever been published.

What do the photo archives of the Normandy/Rouen newspapers, L'Equipe, etc., still hold from those days...?

How about this one:

Pretty good! My mates argument was, each event has hundreds of people attending. Of those hundreds, most will have cameras, and if something happens, they'll all take pictures. He sited the assasination of JFK and how many pictures were taken, and from how many angles. I just looked at the start of the 1963 British Grand Prix, the moment the flag dropped, and so far 22 pictures!!!

I have some film of Moss' pitstop at the British GP at Aintree ('59??), where he gets out and has a 'bottle of pop' as the newsreel tells us, then get s back into the BRM. That is in B&W, I have colour film from opposite the pits.
