Why not try and beat DCN to the answer and identify this eclectic montage?

Oh! Gee! Someone must know.

I can only say that the top pic is of Jacques Laffite's helmet - but why the visor sticker is emblazoned with a swastika, I can't imagine. 1984-ish?

I know who the bloke struggling with the bike is, and where he was struggling. I also know who those tyro's pretending to be marshalls at Crystal Palace in 1955 and examining Derek Strange's Cooper-Norton in the Brands Hatch paddock are.

Any prizes?.

Is this a quiz where we need some fairly obscure, 'insider's' knowledge??

I suggest that the cyclist is the famous Eric Dunsdon, and that the other two b & w photos feature Messrs Bauble and Dunsdon. :p

Quite right, I'm fed up with not knowing the answers to Doug's teasers, and want to be the Cocky Dick for a change.

Smug bauble.

Yeah! Yeah! Doug, but what about the answers then? Not so clever now are you? :stoned:

Larry Perkins isn't it? Is it that bike race they used to hold at Monza during the GP?

I was just about to say it looks like a young Mr. Bauble. That's not to say he's old now.

Well spotted Alan. Yes Jack Lafitte's helmet and, of course during his 83/84 stint with Williams. Judging by the swastika and the slogan it would seem that (Sir) Frank was being a bit harsh at the time. Picture was taken at a pre Grand Prix tyre testing session at Silverstone 1983.

"I was just about to say it looks like a young Mr. Bauble. That's not to say he's old now."

Correct identification of the finely tuned athlete, Red, and Arti has given a clue as to the bike, (remember the Farralac?), but how many of you spotted the concrete support of the M4 in Cardiff? (or was it Swansea?)

While it is all a bit of fun it came about while I was trying to find some pictures from Crystal Palace from the 'old days', I would have thought the marshal's post in the Glade would have been identified fairly readily, but even I did not recall the venue or whose car it was in the other snap. Thank goodness for Eric and his elephantine memory.

Finally, apologies to Doug for taking his name in vain.

The lump of M4 was in Newport. Mon. And probably still is.

As for the other snaps, its funny how 1955 is so much more memorable than the day before yesterday.

A fun little thread...

Do you think you can do it again? Or would that be 'fluff'?
