Oldest active trackside marshal
Quote from Kev Frost, Oulton, 23/6/12 - 'particularly Don for his pearls of wisdom on my 1st day doing my "Flagging" experience!'
This got me wondering is Don Hall the oldest active trackside marshal? By that I mean someone who is out on post in all weathers, not in a nice cosy office or vehicle. |

If I feel 85, does that count?

John in the blue anorak (really sorry I forgot his last name) who often flags at Brands must be getting close.
I asked him a couple of years ago, "So how long have you been marshalling?" and the reply was. "I don't marshal any more. I gave up 20-30 years ago. I just flag now!" |

John on the laps/minutes to go board at Brands Hatch is also in his eighties and marshalled at the first Brands Hatch (post-war) meeting which ran anti-clockwise.
