This is Walt at the Nürburgring with some members of the Ferrari Team. Walt is 3d from left. Can someone identify the 2 men standing to his right :
And here's Maurice Trintignant following a fellow driver. Who's he?
This should be a Ferrari Engineer...? :
And finally, a signed action picture of two side-cars. One of the drivers signed "To me old mate Wally from Bob". Someone knows who they are?

I can't be much help - but I think the chap on (our) far left of this pic is Romolo Tavoni, who was the Ferrari team manager between 1958 and 1961. He's the same bloke who is supposed to have been punched by Jean Behra, which resulted in the Frenchman losing his drive.

Nice pictures.
For the first one, David is right, the man with the cap is the great Ferrari engineer
Aurelio Lampredi.
For the second, in front of Trintignant, it's Robert Manzon.

I thought that too, but was put off by an apparent moustache. On closer inspection, it's just a shadowOriginally posted by starlet

I think the man in the third pictire might be Vittorio Jano

definately the australian Bob Mitchell and his co-driver Eric Bliss/Norton in 1956.
The drivers in the background seem to be Bill Boddice and William Storr/Norton ....no idea what race.
