Not been to the Revival personally, but a good friend has been several times & says it is a fantastic & unique event.

Funnily enough at Beaulieu Autojumble last weekend I was looking at a print for sale showing the late Ray Hannah flying a Spitfire along the pit straight at about 30 feet, taken at the Revival in 1998 I think. I don't suppose that is allowed now but the air display is still part of the event.

You will enjoy it, Chris. Great to be able to show the TR8 at such a place, too.

Good news Chris,

I will be there on Friday with some friends. we have been going for quite a few years now - it's good to see the cars racing and really going for it even if they are worth several shed fulls of money!

Hope to see you

Cheers
Ian

A club member went last year with his wife and 6 year old son. At a meeting we were treated to a slide show of it. A Must see.
