E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} R.{Sir Henry Royce} Hall's big Bentley slides on to the pavement in Comber during his neck and neck struggle with the Hon. Brian Lewis's Lagonda, which can be seen immediately behind. The Bentley missed the butcher's shop, missed the sand-bags, and missed a crash by inches—but Lewis seized his opportunity and shot past into the lead.
