Video showing M014 clip from Bill Maish's film of when Sid Hughes allowed car races to be held over some disused dispersals and woodland behind the 93, 98 and 118 hangars. The main inter squadron event was between these 3 squadrons in open top Mercedes Coupes. 93 wore their traditional deer stalker hats, 98 had bone domes while 118 wore flat caps back to front. Note the movement of "the ballast " from side to side to improve turning performance. Also racing was Brian Iles, ( red TR2), OC Eng Wing in black Vauxhall, and Wing Co Hammer West in his Service Volkswagen Beetle. I was behind a tree - early 56.
