The cat Category:Fatally crashed racecar drivers is technically accurate but misleading because he didn't die during a race or in a racecar as the category might indicate.--Hooperbloob 21:33, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mysterious Michelle[edit]

Who is the Michelle mentioned in regards to his road accident? His wife, daughter?daghter

Copyvio[edit]

Oh dear, this article seems to be shot through with straight cut-and-paste copyvio from the Motorcycle HoF site. I'll remove it when I get chance, but please feel free to start without me... Pyrope 07:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest rewording it rather than deleting it as most of it is useful informationOrsoni 11:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
...as should have been done when you added it in the first place. Rather than asking someone else to go round and sweep up your mess, perhaps you could do it? Pyrope 12:57, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize if I seemed to be asking you to clean up my mess. It wasn't my intention to upset you. My only intention was to help.Orsoni 06:18, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

George Medal[edit]

Several otherwise reliable sources sate the Mike Hailwood was awarded the George Cross eg The History of the TT by the Isle of Man Department of Tourism and Leisure.

The Official Mike Hailwood site muddies the water by saying: "He was awarded The George Medal, Britain's highest award for civilian bravery, for his heroic rescue of Clay Regazzoni ...". (Not to take anything away from those awarded an M.C., but Britain's highest award for civilian bravery is the George Cross)

Without going a library to check the London Gazette, looking in Google Books would seem be the simplest way to check. As search on [Mike Hailwood "George Cross"] returned 2 books, [Mike Hailwood "George Medal"] returns 14 books one of which was the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. The online edition (restricted access) says "He was appointed MBE in 1968 and was awarded the George Medal when he rescued Clay Regazzoni from a blazing car in 1973." -- PBS (talk) 01:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality[edit]

According to the Motor Cycle newspaper writing in 1968 Hailwood renounced his British citizenship and became a South African. I thought this might be referenced in the ODNB, but it doesn't mention it. Does anyone know for sure? Mighty Antar (talk) 18:17, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
