    The date of the race was 19 July 1969.

    Rather than being in Oxfordshire, Silverstone straddles the Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshire border.

    "P Courage" is Piers Courage.

    "reef to Stewart" should read wreath to Stewart.

    The Number 6 car seen is driven by Bruce McLaren. Number 7 Is Jackie Ickx. Number 4 is Jean-Pierre Beltoise.
