Over to you, Dave". And that's the last we heard from Mr McEwan!

I think Keith McEwan was more at home commentating the rugby David, good job he had an expert on hand

That's an outstanding photo of Graham McRae, atmospheric and one of the few of his face. So many photos of him are of his back view.

..Pete tells me the colour pics with the black ' Circular edging" were taken by holding his camera up to a pair of binoculars and , oh, the figure resting on the grass by the truck is Graham hill..
