I was scanning some old GP photos recently and came across this one, I think it's Desire Wilson in qualifying for the 1980 British GP, but the information I have says she was in car number 43

It is Jonathan Palmer at British GP 1983

European GP I think.

Not the British GP, but the second UK race that year - the European Grand Prix at Brands Hatch. This was Palmer's F1 race debut in a third Williams. He qualified on the back row, well behind Rosberg, but ahead of Laffite who didn't qualify. He drove steadily to finish 13th of 15 finishers (3rd of the non-turbos).

Wow! the speed of your replies astounds me, yes your bang on, thanks.

Some of my photo's have got mixed up over the years and this was among the 1984 folder ???

I'd forgotten about the European GP, even though we set off from Manchester at midnight to drive to Brands and got home about 2 am on the monday ready for work at 8.

Mrs. Wilson drove an FW07 (this is an FW08C), and it was not a works car, hence no TAG, Saudia etc. stickers.
