The short lived 250 Motor Racing Club organised meetings at Brands Hatch in 1955 and '56 and also Sprints at Stapleford aerodrome. 

 

I'm looking for photographs from two of the meetings at Brands Hatch as follows -

 

  • 15 April 1956
  • 17 June 1956

and also photographs from the two Sprint meetings at Stapleford as follows -

 

  • 20 May 1956
  • 22 July 1956

I am trying to track down an image of a specific car which competed at these meetings and any help would be gratefully received.  Thanks!

Have you tried the old Stilltime archives? They seem to cover lots of 50s stuff. It may be necessary to scroll through it all but the system works quite well. There is another old archive for Brands, the name of which escapes me at present, but I will see if I can turn up some info.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know about Stilltime archives but I'll have a look and see what I can find. Any other info gratefully accepted!
