RIP Graham Hill and his talented team, who perished 37 years ago. Talented people - tragic loss to the sport and their loved ones.

I recently read Graham Hill's autobiography (bought for £1 in a charity shop), the last section he wrote was when they were about to fly to Paul Ricard for the test session they were flying back from when the plane crashed; the final chapter is by Bette on how she heard the news, coped with it and brought up the children without him, very moving stuff.

I read that recently too, an interesting book indeed.
