My Dad regularly trots out the story of Johnnie Jordan flour bombing the pitlane at Silverstone.

Regarding the BRM which was run at Snetterton in an aurora round was driven by Teddy Pillette the Belgian? F5000 pilot.

It broke down early on between Riches and Sear, where i was a marshal.Having got out the car Pillette said i know whats wrong with it happens often and he could not be bothered to put the wire back on and left the car .

As was said by Andrew, Jordan bought the remains of stock from BRM.
As a Snetterton regular from the late 60's Jordans GT40 was a regular entry nealy allways winning except in the wet one day when just by a short head by Andrian Wlikins F2 Chevron.
