15 years to this day since that helicopter crash that took away Colin's life, his son's and two family friends. May they Rest in Peace.

Good to see that McRae family is still involved in rallying. 18-year-old Max McRae, son of Alister and nephew of the famous Colin, would like to run a Junior WRC campaign in 2023:

Gone but not forgotten...
Sadly, Colin welcomed some good company up there this year....
Have fun rallying the Kielder forests in your MK2 Escorts, guys...

I still remember the shock of hearing about it standing in my kitchen 16 years ago. I’d been to that years festival of speed at goodwood, and watched Colin driving around the rally stage in an Impreza and his own r4. I had photos, I’d borrowed my wife’s digital camera. Before I got the chance to upload them to the laptop a friend borrowed the camera and wiped all the photos!
A few years back I went again and had a good chat with Jimmy. I’m terrible at chatting to people and even worse with people I don’t know and have some fame or notability about them. Jimmy probably thought I was just another Colin fan boy, but what I neglected to tell him was my favourite driver when I was a lad was actually Jimmy himself, until a young lad called Colin came along and started smashing it.
Caught up with him again later in the day, this time with my wife by my side who just struck up conversation and a rapport with Jimmy in a way I never can.

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
