Damon Hill

[ERC]

Looking at the first photograph, reminds me of 1961, when we schoolboys all had plain khaki, ex-army surplus haversacks (forerunners to today's back packs). It was customary to decorate them. I decorated mine with 'Tony Brooks - BRM' as a long time fan - then two weeks later, he retired...

I then switched my allegiance to Graham Hill and years later, named my only son Stewart Graham, after Jackie and Graham of course.

Loved the humour of Graham Hill (as did many Brits) and was a supporter of Damon when he started in cars. I have a framed, signed, action photograph of Damon on the wall leading into my office and a large framed Michael Turner limited edition print of Graham at the 1962 German GP, in the lounge, alongside the print of Gonzales in the V16 BRM, exiting the Goodwood chicane.

Golden years the early 1960's, when I devoured every word written about F1.
