Here is a photo of Jackie Stewart looking over his Tyrrell Ford as it was being worked on by an elf Team Tyrrell technician during practice for the Grand Prix of Canada 1972 at Mosport Ontario. I was standing to the left of Stewart (in the green Army Surplus jacket) ready to offer any advice or help necessary. I suspect that the duct tape holding on the air intake was probably my idea.It is hard to remember all the way back to 1972. Did they even have duct tape back then? I am holding my Asahi Pentax SP1000 with what looks like a telephoto lens. Photo By: A.M. Macleod
