Goodwood Revival Meeting

For those of you not going to the Duxford show on both days, but still needing their fix of gasolene, Goodwood is the place to be this weekend.

Between the races of period racing cars are the superb flying displays. At the moment, TD248 and MH434 are down there, along with the OFMC P40 and the LA9. Twighlight Tear will arrive later.

There is also a Russian theme to the whole period event (visitors are invited to dress in any type of 1950s clothing, which many tend to do with amazing accuracy to detail). The extraordinary Big Splash AN2 is taking centre stage in the static park (you MUST look inside if you ever get the chance – Learjet-style luxury) with a vintage Russian staff car and a model Sputnik beside it.

If you go, I’ll be interested to know what you think. I’m just sad I couldn’t get there myself this year.
