Whitney Straight never raced at Goodwood. But one of his most famous cars did.
As @goodwoodrevival celebrates 100 years of #Maserati, a lovely link to @PaulKennyinfo book on Whitney Straight: his 8CM, chassis 3011, later raced at Goodwood.

Silly Stokes. Why did he open the batting? They could have batted out the day and he could have had his send-off today to a crowd let in for free.

The acclaimed 1949 film provided perfect cover for intelligence gathering. "[Karina Urbach's] discoveries remain largely unknown mainly because no British publisher has yet had the wit to translate her novel, 'Das Haus am Gordon Place', into English."

'Daphne was a British secret service agent who was sent to Vienna in 1948. She saw how brutal the Soviet side was at the time. She hated communist ideology, but loved Russian literature.' Karina Urbach, author of DAS HAUS AM GORDON PLACE (PRH Germany)

An article in Vzglyad reports on the forthcoming trial of Étienne Davignon for the murder of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba.
It reiterates the unproven statement attributed to the late Baroness Park that she and MI6 were the ones who had him killed.
I got to know Daphne fairly well while working for a sub-committee of the Upper House on the eve of the Iraq War in 2001-2002. An indomitable figure who feared nothing, she had grown up in Africa and subsequently ran operations in Moscow, so it was entirely natural that she should have been sent to the Congo by the service.
When subsequently researching Russia's Cold War (Yale 2011), I asked her about Lumumba. Daphne as MI6 head of station in the Congo had early on met and took under her wing the young Lumumba.
Later when he took power and confronted head on the enmity of Belgian mining interests, Lumumba turned to the Russians who were seeking a secure foothold in Central Africa.
Daphne had surreptitiously recruited Lumumba's personal secretary to spy on him. When he learned of this, Lumumba invited Daphne to dine, while his secretary was being tortured on the floor below. To ensure Daphne got the message, the screams were audible.
Daphne always denied that her CIA counterpart Larry Devlin, who flinched at the idea of assassination, had anything to do with killing Lumumba.
But that she could have orchestrated Lumumba's kidnapping along with the Belgians was, in the circumstances, not entirely unlikely, fully in the knowledge of what would become of him.

ALT Manchester, 1919. DCI Frank Tinsley thinks he’s got a routine case: a drunk stabbed and robbed. Then one question nags. Why was the victim behind the university physics building at three in the morning? The answer, Tinsley suspects, is in a scientist’s notebook now vanished from the scene. And he is not the only one hunting it. German Intelligence believes its pages conceal the blueprint for a new kind of weapon and has dispatched an IRA operative, Graham Donnelly, to steal it, paying in rifles and ammunition. Donnelly is hungry to prove himself, and he will not be stopped. As Tinsley closes in on the truth, he realises this is no local murder. If he fails, the notebook’s atomic secrets will reach Berlin, at the moment Adolf Hitler is beginning his rise.
