Titled 'The bravest cameraman in the world' but if you look at the wide angle shot of the crash, the camera is un-manned with just the fella's anorak haning off it to look like he was there. I reckon he was scootched down behind the barriers out of the cold wind working the camera remotely.....


and it was too chilly for the Hornee girls or any other brolly dollies to be out much on race day Hardly any to be seen about the paddock.

From what they were saying on the Monday. Dave the camera man stayed on camera but ducked out of the way. There's more footage straight after looking down on John Kirkham.

He's had a bit of a time recently. His wean (child) dug up an unexploeded hand grenade a couple of weeks ago. Bomb disposal did a controlled explosion in his back garden
