The gasser ally display area.
Many of the spectators dress up to reflect an era that the circuit was in use.

One of the larger displays “The Earls Court Motor Show”.
Each year has a different theme/focus, and a part of 2018 Revival’s “The Earls Court Motor Show” theme was Steve McQueen.
Here’s the display board for one of the machines.

Steve rode this actual TriumphTR6 in the film The Great Escape.
Me thinks it had a bit of ‘tidy’ since then..............

A Mustang to reflect the film Bullitt, along with uncannily good manikin (the photo doesn’t do it justice)

Saturday and Sunday morning saw a display Spitfires and Hurricane doing flybys, then, one after the other, doing barrel rolls over the green runways of RAF Westampnett (Goodwood).
Tech details
1949 Hawker Hrricane Mk.1 “P3717”
1942 Supermarine Spitfire Mk V “EP210”
1943 Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX “MH434”. Remarkably original having never been rebuilt.
1943 Supermarine Spitfire Mk XI
Not a bad way to start an event...........

1943 Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX “MH434”. Remarkably original having never been rebuilt, just after landing.
It taxied to a display area which allowed spectators to have a close look, including inside the cockpit.
