Far be it from any member of this forum to drop names! But while I'm at it, a few days earlier I was at a conference having a chat wih HRH The Princess Royal.

Sir Stirling was a boyhood hero of mine and I was quite chuffed that he gave me 50 minutes over morning tea at his home - he signed some of my books and a photograph of him in the 1956 Italian GP - even showed me over his 1956 Scrapbook to confirm that it was that particular race. I took a photo of him on the R6 but had to focus at f2 and was really miffed that, in my efforts to be quick, I focused about three inches behind his eyes. The digital shot turned out OK, though.

With best wishes,

Ian
