I believe that somewhere buried on "THE" thread is an account of the Amon win. The others? I'm not sure. Anybody??

THe April 3rd Mallory race did take place; the result was:
1 Brian Naylor JBW-Maserati
2 Tim Parnell Lotus 18
3 George Pitt Cooper Monaco.
I'm not sure about the other names you mention. andre Pilette was entered by Reg Parnell but was not able to race as the meeting was of National British status and he was driving on a Belgian licence. THe first two finished 0.4 secs apart and lapped all but Pitt who was 53 secs behind (fastest lap 56 secs). The field included MGAs, Elva Couriers and Lotus Elites. April 3rd waas Easter Monday, so there was a lot of racing around the country.
More on the other races tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to it.

December 26th 1960 Brands Hatch:
THe result in Autosport gives Dizzy Addicott third in a 1216cc Lotus sports car; a 17? Marsh's Lotus may not have been an F1; Autosport said it was an F2 car being modified for the new F1. Jock Russell was on pole in a 2-litre Lotus 15, but his engine was boiling on the line - on Boxing Day?? He got away slowly and went off at Clearways on the first lap. Marsh, from the second row, led from start to finish. Fourth was George Wicken (F2 Cooper), fifth (I thnk) Graham Eden (F2 Cooper).
