Heard this story on the news, never thought it would be an ex racer!
Fearless Fred had some great races with Steve Matchett and I believe was the first (only driver?) to have a rear wing on a Formula Vee!
I still have vivid memories of sitting at North Tower Corner at Crystal Palace taking pictures, bearing my photographers armband, from the 6 feet of grass between the track and the spectators when Fred had a massive aerial accident flying over my head but fortunately landing back on the track.
Happy days.
Condolences to his family and friends.
