11th June 1955

I was just trawing the BBC web site.   I realised that today is the aniversary of a very tragic day.

Tom, last year was the 50th 'anniversary'.

I took a photo of the memorial that's along the start / finish straight (on the ACO stand side).

Hi Steve.

There used to be a memorial on the other side of the wall but it was not replaced when they rebuilt the wall.   It's good they have put up a new one.

see you later in the Week.

Safe journey.
