J.G. Parry-Thomas
John Godfrey Parry-Thomas was born in Wrexham in April 1884 and was killed in March 1927 at Pendine while trying to break the world land speed record. Parry-Thomas' car used an exposed chain to connect the engine to the right hand drive wheel while the high engine cover required him to drive with his head tilted to one side - also the right. On his final run the drive chain broke at high speed decapitating him.
