Possibly another myth, but it was generally believed by all that it was the propshaft disconnecting on his TR2 that caused the horn virtuoso Dennis Brain to crash in 1957 on his overnight way back from the Edinburgh Festival.

Colliding with the oak tree outside de Havilland's factory in Hatfield was the ultimate cause of death, but despite filthy weather and Brain's love of high speed, mechanical failure and the mention of the propshaft appeared in most contemporaneous reports.
