Jessie The Jeep Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Another event for those of us in the North of the Country! Croft Racing Circuit near Darlington, in conjunction with the Durham & Tees Valley MVT, are holding a Nostalgia Weekend on 7th & 8th August 2010. There will be military vehicles and equipment of all eras, classic car racing and static displays set in the backdrop of a WW2 airfield that was home to the RCAF, flying Halifax, Wellington and Lancaster bombers. A Saturday evening dance is also planned, along with a Military Vehicle Parade Lap of the track and a fashion show on Sunday. A flypast by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight has also been applied for. MVT members and other military vehicle groups are welcome including German vehicles, but no German uniforms. Unfortunately due to the fact that areas within the circuit are classified as a ‘War Grave’ and there is a memorial within the grounds, the decision has been made that it would be inappropriate to have German uniformed re-enactors at the event, this decision was not taken lightly and it is hoped that all those involved will understand and abide by the decision. Since the Circuit regularly holds events, there are full plumbed in toilet facilities and plenty of space for camping. Free entry for all personnel will be by submitting the form below; otherwise gate entry price will apply. Due to the fact that the circuit will be holding a ‘Classic Car Race’ event over both days, Croft Circuit Rules apply and dictate that NO ANIMALS ARE ALLOWED. The MVT Code of Conduct also applies. The entry forms haven't been uploaded to the DTV website yet, but can be downloaded from the following link Download Here --> Entry forms for Vehicle owners and Re-enactors/Dioramas Edited February 11, 2010 by Jessie The Jeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie The Jeep Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Bump! Just a reminder we're still looking for entries of vehicles and dioramas for our Croft event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie The Jeep Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Bump! The entries are coming in chaps, but we'd always like more vehicles and dioramas, especially to support a first event. Don't sit around waiting to hear if it was any good, come along and make it a good event. There aren't enough good shows in the North of the country, and this has got the potential to be something great, especially with the classic car and bike racing during the event. If you can, please give us your support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Further attractions have now been confirmed for Croft, including a flying display by an Isaac's Fury, a replica of the classic 1930's RAF bi-plane. Also now confirmed is Colin Bourdiec, a George Formby impersonater who will be performing, plus vehicles from the Northern WW2 Association are confirmed. If you aren't already booked in, get on the site and download the form, this is shaping up to be a great first event, and hopefully the first of many.

berna2vm Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Is the B26 Marauder flying yet, Steve? I would come to Croft just to see it fly !!!!:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) We're almost ready for paint, and expect it to be complete on static display at Croft, but it won't fly until September when it is delivered to the customer in Denver.

Jessie The Jeep Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Two further exciting attractions have now been added to the Croft event. We have Kev Burgon's M24 Chaffee tank on display for the weekend, and also flying displays by 'Taff' Smith from the Real Aeroplane Company based at Breighton Airfield. 'Taff' is racing during the weekend, but is bringing the Bucker Jungmeister to put on two or three aerobatic displays, weather and servicability permitting.

Jessie The Jeep Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Great! We're planning to arrive mid morning Friday ( depending on little legs' sleep pattern ), so we should be all set up by lunch, and I'll probably be leading vehicles around the airfield to their camping spots with my Jeep! Fingers crossed that the high pressure in the mid Atlantic moves over us for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
