Above is a photograph that just sold on eBay last week for $123.50. Congratulations to the winner. This is the first time, I have seen this image with a press released still number on it; It looks like it is L302-1.
This is the first image of a sequence of three that appeared together in the newspapers documenting the actual collision in mid-air. It was also used in ads promoting “The Grim Game”. It shows Kennedy climbing down the knotted rope toward Thompson’s top wing for the plane changing stunt in the movie.
I have yet to see the above second image of the sequence with the still number on it. It may be L302-2. Notice that, as the aeroplanes are buffeted by the unstable air, Kennedy lifts his feet to avoid contact with Thompson’s propeller.
Above is the third image of the sequence with still number L302-3 on it. After the collision, you see Kennedy dangling in space at the end of the rope as the aeroplanes start to descend.
