    It's a Canadair CL-44, the swing-tail cargo version of the Bristol Britannia. The cargo was the entire fleet of British F1 cars, probably headed to North America.

    Why does the Scuderia shield seem to be "redded out"? Note the unique air intakes in the cowl, only used for the South American rounds; the intakes as shown in #1628 were used for the rest of the season.

    Remember, the T2 was used in both 76 and 77. The first year, the inner part of the air nostrils was white. During the later part of 76 and over the winter, the team experimented with several different duct designs.

    At the 77 intro, the nostrils were now all red, which carried over to the first part of the season.

    Later, the 77 T2 was updated with the two NACA ducts replacing the larger nostrils.

    Don't know why the one pic shows the Cavallino redded out but I have another pic of the same session showing the same thing.

    Yesterday was Jacques Laffite's 78th birthday. I took this photo of Jacques entering Casino Square at the 1980 Monaco GP. The Ligier Gitanes livery was one of my favorite liveries back in the day, and Jacques one of my favorite drivers.

    While the Cosworth powered Ligier JS 11 in my photo was arguably one of the best looking car designs in the years it competed, by contrast the earlier Ligier JS 5 Matra shown in your photo was one of the ugliest.

    Who knew????

    The Isuzu 3.5L V12.

    Around 1991, Isuzu had secretly developed a 3.5-litre DOHC V12 race engine that cranked out around 640bhp at 12,500rpm. The engine, codenamed P799WE, was designed to comply with Formula One specifications.

    The 3.5 litre formula is my favorite F1 era. It's a shame that this marvelous engine never ran in anger.

    Well, for those who remember these days of Formula One, it wasn't actually such a secret...rather, one of a serie of numerous tricks Lotus tried to get out of the doldrums: in the page corresponding to the enclosed link, there is even a vidéo of it (at about 2/3of the page)
