Photos: The Bill Pottinger Collection - Part 2

[Steve Holmes]

Another of the very dramatic shots Bill was very good at capturing, by leaning out from the inside of a high speed corner as race cars hurtle by at speed.

Here is Leo Leonard in the quite ungainly looking Begg F5000, about to have Niel Allen blast by in the McLaren M10A. No doubt someone here with far me knowledge than me could confirm if this is actually from practice or qualifying, rather than the race? I can't seem to find any mention of Leonard in either the starting grid order or race results. Did the Begg fail in practice, or did it not qualify?

By the way, this is the Lady Wigram event in 1970.
