A friend is downsizing and gave me these two photos last night. You guys and gals are usually pretty quick with finding stuff. I already know the answer so , for the rest of you  Who? What? When? Where?

I’m guessing at the Glen based on the time period.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I would love to claim some encyclopedic knowledge of F1 in the years before I was born, but it was a process of elimination based on just  too much rather than full anorak knowledge.  I instantly figured it was the 1.5L era so 61-65, I also recognized Hills helmet and I recognized the Lotus Climax.  I also know that cars/drivers didn't' carry the same # from race to race back then.  So to find the event it was a process of finding which race Hill was #12 and a Lotus was #20.  I then checked race results until the #'s and cars matched up.

I just looked on the back of the pictures.
