That Monza shot is in the LAT book on JC and also in Tulloch's book. I always think it is such a meaningful and atmospheric shot. After practice where the man had put it on pole on a legendary track, A fluffed start meant he had it all to do, then a puncture, blitzing through the field shattering the lap record several times, dropping to finish 3rd having run out of fuel in the last corner. The shot shows such a classic halcyon time. JC, who at that time was Master of the Universe, so relaxed with Kate Eccles, loyal mechanics close by in an informal pose, JC's close friend Jabby Crombac in a world of his own, with a fan capturing it all on film for his own records. The fact that Kate was such a stunningly beautiful young woman is a bonus..... but it just sets a mark for such a wonderful period in time, sadly to end for all of us a few months later. It just reaffirms for me why I love that whole period so much.
Re the ice cream, I prefer to think of it as Jim offering Kate his ice cream, the sort of thing he would do, certainly since he clearly cared for her, I suspect, rather than reflecting the comment above.
