David Guyatt Wrote:Charles, I vaguely remember that Paul Rigby posted some fairly pristine pictures of Di's black mercedes car being loaded on a transporter to be taken out of the tunnel. This was many, many moons ago. I've tried to find them but can't. Any further input in furtherance of this would be useful. The pictures I can now find show a fairly pristine rear part of the car, but nothing showing the front end other than those reflecting a completely crumpled write-off.
Right you are, David. I can't find them, either. I have, however, found many immediate post-crash photos (in one of which Dr. Maillez, allegedly one of the very first individuals to reach the scene, is looking into back seat of the limo through through the open, right rear passenger side door.
(I'd post it, but when I try to add photos I'm informed that to do so would "exceed my attachment quote.")
By the way, in 2008 the MB S280 death car was going to be put up for sale by its owner, Etoile Limousines. See

If I may extend my doppelganger gambit analysis from Dealey Plaza to the Pont Alma tunnel, I suggest that two MB sedans -- or at least two radically different physical states for the same car, were utilized. And to the best of my knowledge I alone have argued for a second or decoy MB being driven at breakneck speed and followed by faux paparazzi along the same route and in advance of Diana's automobile.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
