Alistair Walker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alistair "Al" Walker (born 21 March 1944 in Dewsbury, Yorkshire – died 25 January 2021 in Dale, Pembrokeshire) was a racing driver from England. He participated in Formula 3, Formula 2, World Championship of Makes, and the South African Springbok Series. After his active racing career was over, he participated in some Historic Racing and restored several significant historic vehicles.[1][2] In 2004 Alistair bought a WWII RAF Air Sea Rescue boat, one of few survivors of the type, in rough condition and commenced a restoration. The boat was finished in time to represent the RAF Museum in Queen Elizabeth's 2012 Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant.[3]
