The scheme was for the loosened bonnet (hood) to fly off as an explosive charge fitted under the bonnet fired. The model T has an under bonnet scuttle mounted PETROL tank and I was driving in full Arab make-up. Not a good scenario. The first take was ruined by too large a charge exploding, Jackson Bennett disappearing from view and myself being enveloped in a dense cloud of smoke totally blocking my view. I braked gently to a halt mindful of my passenger’s precarious perch…”Take two…first positions, please” came the cry
