I was lucky enough to meet up with one of the pilots of our plane in the race a few years ago and he gave me loads of information .. but trying to find out more.
I would love to find some old film footage of the start or the finish, which apparently was a crazy race to the line!!!
Anyone help?

Hi, I have some documentation, curious to see what you have found, I have an interest, as my father raced for line honors but was beaten by Bill Campbell!!
