apparently the Berliner Zeitung BZ had a 1961 or so series called Die Angst hat viele Gesichter. Translates to "Fear has many faces". Possibly the same as "The Tall Man"?

can't find any good sources, but it certainly looks like it was a big deal back then.

Anyone know what the car is being unloaded? Engine does not look like a Cosworth DFV with those valve covers.

This picture shows Peter Hughes (red striped overalls) helping unload the Lotus 33 at Pukekohe 1969, with the Daimler engine in evidence.

They elevated the front end of the SC to help in the ramp angle. I wonder what the risers look like. Or could it just be tipping from all the weight behind the rear axle?

I see no evidence of a sound system. The kids in the back probably can't hear a thing. Great photo!
