I think that is Brownlie being attended to in the background.
I can remember seeing a big cloud of brown dirt and Hulme's car somersaulting sideways from our view over on the Hill. I never realized how close they had come to hitting the power poles along the back straight. The coating of white paint would not have provided much protection !

The last time I ever saw Bruce McLaren was when he ran out to get into the back of the ambulance
carrying Hulme, as it came around after the race. Denny was to be his new team mate after Hulme had left the Brabham Team. (Which must have pleased Jack B no end !)

For the story of what happened subsequently to Hulme's Brabham see my post #3 in this thread
