WHEN MEN WERE MEN
Woolf Barnato in his single seat Bentley at the 1928 BARC Easter Meeting at Brooklands.
I am certain that the younger lady stood next to the cockpit is Barnato’s daughter, the remarkable Diana Barnato Walker who flew with the ATA during the war. She went on honeymoon in a Spitfire she was delivering and later became the first British woman to break the Sound Barrier at 1,262 mph in that most macho of jet fighters, the English Electric Lightning . A worthy daughter of one of the Bentley Boys.
