When I went to England in 1972, Alistair Caldwell was one of the mechanics I admired as he had started at the bottom at McLaren's and worked his way up. I watched the team at work during practice for the 1973 British Grand Prix at Silverstone and how they prepared 3 team cars to qualify on the first 3 rows of the grid was a great achievement which has never been repeated. Alistair was leading the way in the pits.
Here is an 1973 article about Alistair.

Alistair's career is covered well on his site.
