I've recently made a list of the races that I've attended over the years, mainly based on the programmes that I've kept, then - today - I had the brilliant idea of looking on YouTube for any footages that I could then list alongside each race date, to jog my memory with visual imagery.

It's amazing what is out there (I went to Oulton Park uite often, good stuff for that, eg '68 Gold Cup - superb!)

I also went to BOAC enduros at Brands - great stuff for 1970, '71 but nothing yet found for the earlier years (I missed '67, too young!) - can ayone point me at films for those, please?

I have a fair amount of home movie of 1969, 1970 and 1971, have been toying with the idea of producing a DVD of them all....not too sure how big the market is though!

Ah yes, I had forgotten Pathe! The '68 footage/report is excellent (but nothing yet for '69)................

1968 again but this time from Movietone:

 

Edit.  Hmm, sorry, I couldn't get this clip to load properly. Here it is at the top of the list. Hopefully.

1969....the Prophet/Nelson T70 towards the back.....can't quite see if the driver's helmet has a pinstripe......

If you go here to my website http://www.superchar...eo-footage.html

 Load up Compilation 2 and about 40 seconds in you'll find a little bit of my film from the 69 BOAC.

Thanks Gary, interesting stuff, 69 BOAC plus Ronnie Peterson at Crystal Palace in 1971, powering through North Tower on opposite lock. Wonderful!
