An informal meeting with the headmaster at Kyalami

Formula 1's class of 1969 - or most of it - is seen here basking in the sun, during an informal meeting with the big and blazered Louis Stanley.

A larger than life character, Stanley cut an imposing figure as the boss of the BRM team. But as F1's elderly statesman, he was also instrumental - along with Jackie Stewart - in promoting the sport's safety movement.

'Big Lou' was honorary secretary of the original Grand Prix Drivers' Association, and one of his greatest achievements was the creation of F1's first mobile hospital.
