    "The middle young woman - Penny Naysmith (sp. ?)" - Eirane "Paddie" Naismith was an actress, racing driver and aviatrix. She started out in 1931 in Barbara Cartland's “Brooklands Society Ladies’ Handicap” (not a real race, but a set-up for the press), but then became a successful racing driver, as well as an aviatrix. Her picture was used as the first colour television transmission image in 1940 (she was a striking redhead).
