    Lou Zborowski's Salmson with his mechanic, Len Martin. They retired, probably with a broken con rod (although the Light Car gave a rather more bizrre explanation). A somewhat poignant photograph as this was LZ's last appearance at Brooklands before his death the following month when his under-developed Mercedes crashed in the Italian GP at Monza. Len Martin was with him, but escaped with a severe shaking.
