    Aptly named home movie Croft

    A few glimpses of 911 but lots of spins from all sorts of cars on a very soggy day. The silver 911 is Richard “Dickie” Stoop.

    This is the track where retired RAF pilot Dickie Stoop had a fatal heart attack behind the wheel in a 911 and ran into the banking:

    Croft circuit like many race tracks in England had been a WW2 bomber base. My Uncle was a pilot who flew missions from there and other bases in North Yorkshire — he was awarded a distinguished flying cross for his service. Wonder if Stoop had flown from there before it was closed and converted to a track?
