432 unseen pics Scottish Racing Cars Drivers 50s
Hi
i was wondering if you could help me with any information on a photographer M.R. Kenneth who lost his arm in WW2, i have 5 albums of his black & white photos of Racing Cars from the 1950s, any information would be much appreciated, there is photos of the racing driver P.J.Kenneth who may have been his brother or a relative, there is a total of 432 of his photos with most of them being Scottish Thanks Jamie |

I think these are at the Silverstone International Trophy 10 May 52. 29 Collins, 30 Hamilton & 31 Macklin HWMs and (as captioned) Schell Bira & Graffenried in the group shot. Don't know about the BRM as it was not racing there, maybe a demonstration ?
Would be particularly interested if you could post anf photos that show grids. RAP |

Yes Mr Kenneth has named the tracks and cars & drivers in almost all of the pics, im sure MR K was a well known figure around the circuits in the late 40s early 50s, the only thing i know about him is he lost a arm in the war and he was a semi-professional photographer who was able to take brilliant pics with one hand, i will add a few more pics for you soon.

I note that Simon Lewis of Simon Lewis Transport Books has some of this photographer's archive for sale, and has had for quite some time. E.g The HWM photo with Peter Collins http://shop.simonlewis.com/hwm-peter...952-1301-p.asp
He may be able to shed some light |
