Thanks for the information Paul. Sadly, we are losing the witnesses to the assassination. Here is a quote from the article that you linked to:

“According to his statement to the Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination, McIntyre was standing on the left running board behind agent Clint Hill when he heard three shots fired within five seconds. He saw the second shot hit Kennedy in the neck and the third strike his head. Hill ran to the limo and shoved Jacqueline Kennedy back inside after she climbed onto the trunk.”

Is that what he said? Not long ago I was only able to find a SS report that he made immediately after the assassination. And it didn’t include many details. Also, this might be a good time and place to document other things that he has said about the assassination over the years.

Clint Hill to this day claims that JFK,ordered the agents off the car. So why is there video of them,on the back is some shots on the ride from the airport? Also through Dallas, the Queen Elizabeth was bumper to bumper till Elm?

Hill explained it.  In some instances, the crowd was out into the street.  He made the decision in those limited circumstances to move closer to Jackie by climbing onto the back of the car.  I'm not aware of any other SS agent being pictured doing so in that motorcade.  There is no "them" in that regard - only Hill.  Hill might have felt more confident taking greater initiative in these situations than other agents.  He had been with Jackie for many years.  And again, at the moment of the shooting it is Hill that moves toward the car.  What is the alternative or point that you are trying to make by raising this?  That Hill is lying for some reason despite knowing there are films of him on the back of the car in Dallas?  And he is part of the conspiracy to explain why the SS were not riding on the back of car?  Not clear.

I don't know of any vehicle in the motorcade named the Queen Elizabeth. Catch me up.

Agents were removed at the airport; they were originally assigned to airport security for the duration of the motorcade and the expected return from the Trade Mart luncheon. There's a list of agent security assignments for the entire 2-day Texas trip.

The limo and the Queen Mary were set bumper-to-bumper at times to prevent people from getting between the two cars when moving at the slower speeds, for security.
