  • The Monte Carlo Rally seen here took place from 24-30 January 1949.

    "Hotchkiss (winning car)" - it's a Hotchkiss 686GS.

    "Bristol coming to a halt. driven by Dobry Trybal" should read Bristol 400 coming to a halt, driven by Frantisek Dobry and Zdenek Treybal.

    "Winners - Trvoux and Lesurque" should read Jean Trevoux and Marcel Lesurque.

    "drivers of the Hotchkiss receiving first prize, from the Prince Rainier or Prince Pierre" - although the commentator identifies the man as Prince Pierre, I agree with the cataloguer that it appears instead to be Prince Rainier.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
