I cant say I ve ever read the fancy dress code as only ever wear jacket and tie. Seems to be a huge amount of pre war focus from the organisers every year I ve been. From spitfires to c type displays etc.
Was a bit embarrassing last year when a colleague joined me dressed in some polyester pimp outfit. Apologies for any offence caused, he is NFI this yr!!!

As ALL ex-airfields tend to be wet & windy in your average British Summer (and going by period photos of Geoff Coles & friends at Goodwood) I'd have thought that Ex RN Duffle Coats & Wellies would suit perfectly.

| Mark, in your last post you have hit the nail on the head . There is no 'fancy dress code' - it is just a 'dress code'. Thinking on this , the cut-off date is 1966 , so mini-skirts would just creep in , but , alas, no 'hot pants' . They came later . But this is getting away from MMM..... But mini-skirts, duffle coats and wellies ; there's a thought. |

Having attended ,as a teenaged college student, all the Goodwood meetings from 1961 to 1966. I remember wearing baggy jumpers,duffle coat, college scarf woolly hat, cord trousers and occasionally wellies. If it was sunny, drain pipe jeans and a tee shirt !
Apart from the drain pipes, much the same as now.

Duffle coats were winter dress code and could be worn with style both in the paddock and on the track. The days of regulatory freedom are long gone.(Brands Hatch 1966). PA 0579 - Peter Bentley.
