Not particularly a USAAF event, but one being held on on old RAF Bomber Airfield on the edge of North Yorkshire and Teesside.
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
