Footnotes

The Vendor started marshalling at events in 1967 and continued until 1990. In November 1975 Graham Hill tragically died in a plane accident. The following year the vendor was a marshal at Oulton Park when they were told Bette Hill had arrived at the circuit wishing to give some of the marshals Graham's old overalls. The Vendor walked over to her car and Bette opened the boot up, lying in the boot was five of six pairs of overalls, she picked a pair out that looked about the right size and gave them to the vendor. At the time the overalls had Graham's name and blood group embroidered over the right hand zip pocket, but this had to be removed prior to use.
