Tracing the Origins of a 90-Year-Old Racing Photo

The title is often listed as “John Cobb drives the Napier-Railton on a record run at Brooklands”, or, in other places it’s called “John Cobb in the 24-litre Napier-Railton taking the 'bump' on the Members' Banking in 1935.” And the photographer… is unknown. The Napier-Railton was an airplane-engined car, built on the grounds of the Brooklands Circuit in Weybridge, England. It set the the all time track record, averaging 143.44mph, a record that was never broken. In this amazing photo, it’s hitting the bump on the banking, and has all four wheels off the ground. Once I got home, I thought it would be a worthwhile challenge to see if I could find out who the photographer was, and put credit where credit is due. So I contacted the Brooklands Museum to see if they can help me track down the photographer.
