Re the damage to the gt40, perhaps I should have given more details of what happend, when the car enterd the ditch at speed it slide along the top of the ditch on its underbody, it then hit the end of the ditch which was the enterance to the farmers field. The car upended nose over tail, and landed on its roof see picture 2. you can see the remains of the windscreen near the policemans foot. opposite where the car came to rest(see picture 4 ) was the enterance to the campsite where fortunatly fire extinguishers were kept 4 or 5 guys ran over to the flaming car to put the fire out, they then turned the car over and it burst into flames a second time, the reason for the lack of blackening on the bodywork, was that the petrol was burning , not the car
picture 1 you can see the fire damage on the side window. Graham was wearing racing overalls which were tied around his waist unfortunatly his pasanger was only wearing shorts the door top see pic 4 was pull off by one of the rescuers not the accident
hope this can help you to understand what happened i got there before the ambulance
did .
