I see that Christopher Balfour's account of Sir George White's terrible accident in 1969 is completely different to Setright's account in A Private Car, (different place, different car and different circumstances).
I'm a fan of Setright, but Balfour's account is so detailed and complex I can't help but think it is most likely the true version of events.
Furthermore Sir George White Bt wrote the Foreward for Balfour's book and he of all people must know what really happened to his own father.
He says that Balfour worked with determination to "cut through the jungle of myths and legends to record the truth for posterity"!
