Andy Barrack was a man who liked to photograph fast things. And when I say fast I mean incredibly fast, faster even than that legendary rocket man Slam'n' Sammy Miller. For it is a little-known fact that Andy was one of an elite group of photographers whose profession was using sophisticated equipment to create images of shells exiting the barrels of artillery
pieces and naval guns at supesonic speeds. It seems that in ballistics that initial launch is as vital to a predictable trajectory as a good 60 foot time is to a good time in drag racing. |

Although this is the last page of Andy's rather modest collection it represents only a tiny part of his contribution to the site. He was the first person to contact me in April 2002 shortly after the site was first publicised on Eurodragster. After that we exchanged hundreds and hundreds of e-mails and he constantly provided advice and many snippets of information for the
captions. Andy Barrack |
