    There are are some times when words are never enough to describe a great work of art !

    The sculpture is right outside the front door of Goodwood House and is quite simply breathtaking?

    Jackie - There is a new comer to Scream and Fly from Norfolk, England that is looking for information from the 1960's on a boat by the name of Snoopy that was driven by John Clabburn, who was a UK OI champion. I thought that if anyone could help him, it would be you. If you can help him in any way, his thread is 1960's Racing Monohull and is several thread under yours.

    Jackie Stewart slipped into Jim Clarkes Lotus-------went up the hill quite quickly I understand.
    I was looking at Bloodhound, seeing how far down the road they've gone, -------not a long way down apparently. Still looking for still more sponsorship--------final estimate is FORTY ONE MILLION POUNDA STERLING !

    Will post a couple of piccies of the device later on

    Clayburn was from Lowestoft and Oulten Broad--------was a friend of Percival and Spalding-------his running mate was Neil (Nelly) Greg------a wheeler dealer in cars , boats, money lender to the rich and famous------did a stretch for "Clocking" expensive cars.
    Was one of the nicest blokes you could ever hope to meet------turned his toes up a couple of years back.
    Surprised to hear John Clayburn was ever a " Champion"--------was a stalwart at LOBC, ------did a couple of Paris runs, nice enough chap, but was never a front runner.
    Will take a gander at the site and see who wants to know?

    If I had gotten as up close and personal with the NGK girl as you did, I would still be sputtering, too...

    First piccie is the Schultze Bob ( Spalding) and I ran in Milan, early sixties. Think Clayburn must have bought it from Bob.
    Second shot is the Abbatte I think ?
    They were a pretty cute lot of boatbuilders and fishermen in that neck of the woods-----could copy any race boat and build a replica in two weeks.
    Third piccie is driving me nuts------I know the bald guy so well but I'm bugger end if I can put a name to him-------it will come to me sometime------just hope it's before rigor- Mortis sets in.

    Jackie - Click on the link I have attached below and scroll down to the picture in the bottom left corner. It will give you the answer you are looking for before rigor mortis sets in.

    All I needed was a nudge------- rigour was just a figure of speech , so to say, I'm not going anywhere just yet.
    Still a bit gobsmacked by the spectacle that is the "Festival of Speed". Still got a rake of phoggies to post------ try not to drag ' em out for too long.

    I think you should post a few more of the NGK Goddess of Speed aka "She Who Should Never Be Denied."
