I don’t think Jones would approach the following left hander before Long Bridge in top, but mighty quick in fourth.īrabhams galore Brabham’s BT7A, Hill’s winning BT4 and Matich’ third placed BT7A, all Coventry Climax 2.5FPF powered (unattributed) There is a stile to the right so you can easily enter the property and walk up 400-500 metres to the River Esk waters edge. The location of the farmers gate is about where Len Lukey is in our first shot.

The final one is immediately after exiting Tannery – the straight leads to the now non-existent Long Bridge. He isn’t quite turning in yet, but would be finishing his final shift and having a glance in the mirror, perhaps, before initiating the turn. The corner (right) would have been taken in second gear (of five), I’m guessing a corner speed of 50-60mph. The next one is very deep into the Tannery braking area. The Flying Mile on Pateena Road is the other. Amongst its many tests, Longford had two, long, top-revs throttle openings. Jones would have whistled through this flat-biccie right-kink – yes, there is a kink none of the published maps show – at about 160mph.īy this point he has been in top-gear for a long while, Pub Corner is way, way back behind us. That’s the old Tannery building on the left, these days a lovely home or accommodation. The first above is about halfway along Tannery Straight – towards the corner above, our feature shots. What I can offer are three shots of a planned, but not yet written, modern ‘drivers eye lap of Longford’. If I had known the Lukey/Jones shot was going to be posted when I was at Longford in January and March I would have taken a one from exactly the same locale, but I didn’t! I love the way the photographer has framed the action between the spectators, makes you feel kinda-like you were there. The short straight leads to the quick left-hander onto Long Bridge. That’s the race for the lead folks – a battle of old vs new technology, thankfully for we Stan-Fans, the tough-nugget from Warrandyte prevailed- Jones it was from Lukey. It is a decent walk from Longford village to Tannery. Geoff Wiseman uploaded onto social-media this wonderful colour shot from a spot not often used by the pro-snappers.

The lattice-truss, wrought iron and steel bridge which spans the South Esk River was the equal longest bridge in Australia for a decade or so after the Welsh built structure was commissioned in 1870. Longford’s Viaduct and Railway Bridge close by to it are popular places for train-spotters. As to the first shot, the fella who posted it on Facebook disappeared with his shot as quickly as he arrived.
