Had a Gold ticket for the Sunday, but never made it.  Ended up in Calvary Hospital all day - close but no banana.  Daughter was born during the race.

I was given this rather large photo from the Dept. of Lands.  Photo is 1 metre x 1 metre.  They did a flyover just prior to the race start.  Senna on pole.

I also had a gold ticket, but luckily did make it.

Not many of the photos I took survive but here is one I've got on hand, just before I nearly got run over by a Williams :)

All this talk on Senna made me think of Schumacher. Sad for both, but which was the fortunate one compared to the other.
