Pictures taken using Olympus E10 system

The whole point of the Revival Meeting is nostalgia. It is meant to capture the uncommercial glamour of the 50's racing scene. I had not been there before and although I had been told plenty, one really does have to be there. The Earl of March and his team can be justifiably proud of this unique weekend. The attention to detail is meticulous. It is impossible to eradicate all traces of our 21st century trappings but very little spoils the illusion. The most obvious effort was in the mid-20th century clothing that all staff and most visitors had donned. Quite a fashion parade was taking place around us.

The whole of the surrounding area to the Circuit was artfully arranged with period transport, which included such relevant items
as the mod scooters. Danny boasted 47 lamps on the front of his 1964 200cc Lambretta.

Another splendid means of 2 wheeled transportation was the lovely H.R.D. Vincent Comet Rapide of Mark Knopfler. No glitzy over the top restoration here. It was in excellent understated condition, looking as though it was meant to be used as was the Norton with "torpedo" sidecar.

All manner of period artifacts littered the site, Ice Cream vans, Fish & Chip vans, all doing trade and adding to the atmosphere. A U.S. style milk bar had been built in the outer area with a Ford Consul convertible parked outside and nearby a vintage fairground was open for business, the galloping horses whirling in a blur of colour and gilding.

The courtesy transport was taken care of by a fleet of jeeps with uniformed personnel to drive. This was complimented by the Vauxhall Motors Museum cars doing service as taxis. Such rarities as the first model of Multipla Fiat, based on the 500 were to be seen tootling round the paddock during the weekend. Bevvies of World War II Nurses and uniformed service personnel made up the picture in the paddock area.
