Tony Gaze

[GRS40]

Just seen that Tony Gaze has died - came up with the idea of racing at Goodwood I believe.

These chaps certainly led full lives didnt they! I've just read his obituary, flying Sptifires with Douglas Bader, racing Ferraris and Astons the stuff of Boy's Own books... RIP

I knew that he was a racing driver - and a spitfire pilot, but didn't know about the Goodwood connection. I've just bought his biography on ebay, as I'd love to learn more about him. RIP Tony Gaze.

Thanks for posting the link. What a fascinating, full life, and an amazing chap! In memoriam

a lovely old boy. He actually made it to the Revival Cricket Match a couple of years ago from Australia. Was lucky enough to get a shot printed of him talking to Lord March.

Quite a strong link to Goodwood, I believe his brother was a pilot there during war and unfortunately I think he was killed, TG had a strong influence in original Goodwood and had very strong links to owners, a brave man of his time.

That's a very interesting biography, what a great man.R.I.P.

I'd wondered for some time exactly who Tony Gaze was as the Goodwood Road Racing Club is housed in "The Tony Gaze Building".
