Date of death: November 29, 1975 - Arkley, Hertfordshire
When Graham Hill's private plane crashed on to Arkley Golf Course on a foggy night in November 1975, a nation lost an institution, the character who epitomized motor racing to the man in the street.
As Hill had taken off from Marseilles the future held great promise; to the intense relief of his friends, he had finally hung up his helmet after a record 176 Grands Prix starts, 14 victories, and two World Championships.
