Is my neck safe, Graham?
Answer to Q.26
Coupe Robert Benoist, held on the Bois de Boulogne September 9 1945. (Won by Henri Louveau on a Maserati 6CM)
Robert Benoist was heavily involved with the French Resistance during World War Two, along with the francophile English privateer William Grover-Williams ("Williams").
Late in the war, their resistance ring was betrayed, and both ended their lives in concentration camps at the hands of the Gestapo.
Brave men indeed.
