LETTER

Each month, the Star Letter will receive a New Car Kit

of premium car care products courtesy of Meguiar's,

with everything you need for a 'new car shine'.

Definitely a tragedy, and coming so hot on the heels of the similar tragedy

at CarFest North, it has certainly not been a good year for the air/car show

in general. I'd like to add my thoughts to yours, Marge, for the families and

friends of the victims, and also anyone else affected by this devastating

accident. DS, ACM

Dear ACM,

I just had to email you and say how much I enjoyed reading

the ‘Editor's letter’ in the latest magazine (October 2015). It is the same in

our home – decisions, decisions, which of the car shows shall we watch

today? Some are good and some are bad but nevertheless still very

entertaining. The magazine arrived in Saturday's post – I needed cheering

up, if that’s the right comment to make. We had spent the day with our

F100 on display at Shoreham Airshow, which meant we had witnessed

the dreadful tragedy that occurred when the Hawker Hunter went down.

It was such a shock after what started out as a great day with a fantastic

display of motors and some wonderful aircraft. They put the air=ield in

lockdown, so no movement in or out, and blocked the mobile network so

we couldn’t send or receive messages. We eventually arrived home after

11pm after preparing ourselves to stay overnight in the truck (we only live

about an hour's drive from Shoreham) and it was impossible to sleep,

therefore I had a read of the mag. I was pleasantly surprised to see a

photo of our ’66 Fairlane Squire wagon amongst Darren’s photos at

Hayling Reunion, and we are taking part in Goodwood Revival with it in

September! Keep writing such interesting comments – your page is

always the =irst I turn to.

I can only =inish by saying our thoughts are with all the families and

friends of the people injured and killed in the dreadful accident at

Shoreham. It was not something we expected to witness – we had

attended on both days last year, taking the truck on the Sunday and the

woody on the Saturday. We had such a brilliant weekend last year and

were really looking forward to a repeat this year. So sad.

Marge Dowling, via email
