Mission Impossible - Please help in identifying these logos
Please help me identify a couple of logos from my distant past its driving me nuts
Back in the 70s and early 80s my old man was into his motor sport having more that a fair go at production car trials, rallying, sprints and clubmans B class.
Now to the logos, the first is this, the logo for the manufacturere of his fire proof balaclava. I have asked him but he can't remember and I was just a nipper
The second is a real problem as I only have a description from my memory
All I can remember is it was a graphic representation of, I think something like a beefeater/Yoeman of the Guard figure with the view looking up at said figure. This logo represented the championship sponsor I think it may have nothing to do with motorsport, as I can remember 'Wendy Wools' being a sponsor of a similar event at the time.
Sorry to be so vague but thats all I got
Please help before I pull even more hair out

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Can't really see it on my phone, but didn't the old Corbeau logo look like that? Weather or not they did fireproofs back then is a different matter!?
I'll have a better look when I get home....

PassionFord Post Whore!!
I've got literally 1000's of pics, taken mainly at Brands from early to mid 80's, when a family friend used to race FF2000, (Nicholas Owen, you may of heard of him in racing circles back then?!)
I remember Wendy Wools advertising hoardings at the top of Paddock Bend, if that logo is linked, I might be able to find something? Bit of a long shot, but worth a go? Also got programmes too, so there might be something there?
When I used to go to go, the Formula Ford was normally a support race to other stuff, Mini Miglia/Mini Se7en, Trucks etc...
Can't promise a quick answer with this, wife's just had another baby, so not got time to fart at the mo, as you can imagine....!
