Sorry. And you're right again.

#5 is Louise Smith, and #7 Ethel Flock (and not Hellé Nice, Paul, who had already been Identified as #17)

I love those little facts and stories about the racing ladies. Thanks. Keep them coming.

[Ray B.]

Still to ladies eager to be identified. Come on, gentlemen!
N° 4 is not that famous, I agree, but she may be found among her peers rather easily.
N° 15 is very famous, but I admit that this picture of her was taken at a very tender age...

[faksta]

Lady #15 should be Lilian Bryner then.

[Ray B.]

Sorry but no.
Although famous and a champion, she competes in a peculiar category.

[faksta]

Louise Aitken-Walker?

[faksta]

Also can lady 4 be Fay Taylour maybe?

[Ray B.]

#4 and #15 are none of those.

[João]

Number 4 can be Rita Rampinelli

[Ray B.]

Not any Rita.

[D-type]

#4 Christabel Carlisle

[Ray B.]

Nor a Christabel.

[Allemano]

Could be lady 4 Amy Johnson?

[Ray B.]

Not an Amy
