Rob Walker Centenary Festival

The Rob Walker Centenary Festival at Dorking on 21 October 2018 gave anyone interested in motor racing history, or, come to that, motor racing and/or lovely cars, a thoroughly enjoyable day. Whilst it was quite crowded, it was not too

London Scale Trail Riders

London Scale Trail Riders

Years ago I attempted model aircraft flying. I was not a natural. My planes did not land so much as arrive. When flying it inverted and towards me I managed to put my plane into the ground at full speed.

Sussex Radio Control Car Club

Sussex Radio Control Car Club

I went to see a morning’s racing at the dedicated circuit of the Sussex Radio Control Club. The people I met were all friendly, talkative and very helpful. The courtesy shown to a old, fat stranger was very warm. Thanks.

Headcorn – The boats

Headcorn – The boats

The static display was awe inspiring. Some of the models must have taken years. Well done to all those who braved visitors with heavy hands. The lake was a pleasant place to sit while eating one’s lunch. Watching the boats

Headcorn – The Cars

Headcorn – The Cars

Headcorn Model Show 2018 – The Planes

There were some absolutely stunning models on display, both in the air and on the ground, at Headcorn. I’ve not videoed model planes flying before the Saturday of the show, and looking at the footage, I’ve not done so yet.

Caterham 7 racing

Caterham 7 racing

I went to the British GT meeting at Brands Hatch on 5th August 2018. You would have worked out that the card included the British GT round and Formula 3 but the gem, the most enjoyable race, was the Caterham

1994 British Grand Prix

Here’s a little of ‘discovered footage’ from the 94 British GP. It is rather poorish quality, VHSC I’m afraid. The race had a number of incidents at the start. In fact it had a number or starts. On the first

Classic Land Rovers

Classic Land Rovers

(Image heavy so will take time to load) Some images of classic Land Rovers from the accurately named Classic Land Rover Day at Amberley Museum in Sussex. If you’d like to see them live then there’s a rerun on 14

Historic Masters, Brands Hatch, 2018

Historic Masters, Brands Hatch, 2018 Mt first real attempt at video with my new camera. It’s not as good as I hoped, and I hope for better the next time.     Not to mention my first attempt at a

Who is Harvey Yates?

Just some bloke who enjoys sports cars and used to be a police officer. I am an enthusiastic amateur not a professional mechanic. I'm always ready for a chat about sports cars, F1 and rugby union.
