Abandoned Tracks
Been a bit quiet on here , [ then just noticed Gordons post ], but I thought I would bring up a bit from " Abandoned Tracks ".
Had been looking up the history of FERSFIELD . A link to it here .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idYw7iWr9eU
And looked up the history for Snetterton and Silverstone .
From old maps it looks like they were all very similar design WW11 airfields .
Silverstone had its first racing in 1948 , Fersfield in about 1951 and Snetterton a year or two later .
Fersfield did not last very long , [ probably to far away from main roads ,] but the other 2 are still going strong as race circuits today .
How many tracks across the country had similar starting points , as I cant think of many that were about , [ Brooklands ], before the war .
