    Times have changed!

    Found this in our photo archive today - it's of the French GP at Montlhery in 1925. Today's photographers have different obstacles to overcome.
    Sorry, not taken with an Eos, but thought it a fun image!

        Standing on what looks like a fuel tanker. At the side of a GP track. In 1925. Hmm. Brave or insane ...

        Great image though Di - what archives are you referring to ?

              Have spent some time looking at old images in various archives as part of family history research.

              This image is very interesting. Always wonder about the situation and people in these images.

                  We own a collection of old Motor racing images, many are glass negatives, mostly pre-war. Always finding odd images like that!

                    I think the guy with his arms outstretched is warning the Photographer to get down as the guy reading the newspaper seems to have a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
