No, Lance Macklin has been in a nursing home for some time. I am
trying to confirm that he has died, but I hadn't heard that here,
though he has been ill. The man in the airplane was Ron Flockhart.

I maybe mistaken, but I think that Lance Macklin was killed in
an airplane crash in 1978.He was in a P-51 Mustang and during
an air race from England to Australia.
An automotive literature index list an artice in "Road & Track"
October, 1978 (V 30:2 page 164).One of the few issues that I am
missing.
With kind regards,

I have 120 of my photos of sports car racing from 1960 on a site:
