Nearly forgot, spotted this guy in the paddock. I thought he drove a Vauxhall but it appears he has a chauffeur-driven Porsche.

Great shots Gary.


Did you catch a glimpse of the Spitfire flying over at 1pm?


It was arranged for the East Midlands Aero park open day. Battle of Britain Memorial Flight apparently.


It flew in down the runway from the Donington Park side, turned and flew back then turned again over the track, back over the top of the Aero park and was gone.


I remember the days not so long ago when they did aerobatics for several minutes .... busier schedules these days I suppose. And possibly greater H&S restrictions together with fewer pilots qualified to put on a show?

Nice pics of course. But why is the passenger of the car #18 leaning on the wrong side…*Sea sick or looking for daffodils?

I did Grant but wasn’t ready for it as I’d just set my camera up for some video. I’d been playing with video on and off all day and put together a sequence of clips from the day ( including the Spitfire) on YouTube, link below. You will note that my video taking skills are sadly lacking, my video editing even more so!

By the way the lunchtime grid walk was a big success , proved very popular - hope the VSCC do it again.

Is that your James Dean look? (I've read about him in history books ). Mind you, look what happened to him last time he climbed into a Porsche.

Nice photos by the way!

Circa 1955!

From the look of some of your snaps, may I have caught you in the background?

Thank you for the compliment, coming from you I am genuinely flattered.

Some people just seem to like gravel traps Bob.


Got away with the short cut the first time. Not so luck the second.


Did he have an option for a third attempt do you know?
