My name then was Dorothy Evans. I am an Australian. I have many treasured memories of my time in Munich where Frau Beinhorn was most kind. We spent days by the river and just chatting about her remarkable life. I am not surprised that she lived to be 100.5 years. On my return to Australia, I remarried and I named my daughter, born in 1976, Elly Hutton, after Elly Beinhorn. My Elly is also a remarkable woman. She is an electrical/electronic engineer working as a test engineer with General Motors on the development of air bags and safety features for the future. She represented Australia in the 2000 Sydney Olympics as a 100 meter sprinter in the relay. I would like to send my condolances to the family. Dorothy Hutton Hi,

I first read about Elly through reading the late Chris Nixon's fantastic book "Racing the Silver Arrows", and subsequently "Rosemeyer!" which, while nominally about her husband, was as much her biography as his. If you ever see a copy of either in a specialist or second hand bookshop, buy it! A genuinely heroic lady. We named our daughter Ellie (Eleanor). Sad news.

My father Heinz Rosemeyer told me of a cousin who was a famous Grand Prix racing driver and his aviator wife Elly Beinhorn and thanks to the internet, I have read about Bernd and Elly's love story and their short but adventurous life together. I would like to offer the family of Elly my sincerest condolences. Ms.Ingrid Rosemeyer I live in South Australia and am a relative of Bernd Rosemeyer.

This is due for publication at the end of 2011/early 2012. It is lovely to know that Ingrid Rosemeyer and Yvonne Dunlap live in Australia. If either or both of them read this I would be delighted to hear from them if they have anything which they would like me to include in the story. Photographs or Elly, Bernd (Snr and Jnr) and Stephanie would be very much appreciated. Kindest wishes Peter Finlay I am writing a story for an Australian Aviation magazine about Elly Beinhorn.
