Reflecting on the 77th Members’ Meeting and the CTA‑Arsenal

One recurring theme there was – whether one loves it or hates it – public reaction to the noise from some of the wonderful machines which have operated from, or at, the circuit site and from the RAF Westhampnett air base which preceded motor racing there.
