Jimmy Chipperfield donned a skid-lid from the boot of his Rolls Royce
Jimmy Chipperfield donned a skid-lid from the boot of his Rolls Royce, jumped into a 1952 Wolsely Banger and drove amongst a herd of White Rhinos to act as guinea pig.
He wanted to make sure the Rhinos were safe for the public to drive near - this Whitsun week-end. The Rhinos which are new arrivals from South Africa, have not settled down at their new home, Longleat, Wilts as well as he hoped - already one has broken loose, another has broke off her horn in a fight.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness the fearless Jimmy Chipperfield embarking on a daring mission to ensure the safety of both humans and majestic creatures alike. Clad in his skid-lid, carefully retrieved from the luxurious boot of his Rolls Royce, he fearlessly jumps into a vintage 1952 Wolsely Banger. With unwavering determination etched upon his face, he fearlessly drives amidst a herd of White Rhinos, acting as their guinea pig.
