1949 to 1953 original motor sport photos by Hamilton J Stutt, including eight from the first ever car meeting to be held at Blandford on 27 August 1949, featuring early British race appearances by the Dudley Folland Ferrari V-12, John Cooper and the Connaught sportscar, the others of an aerodrome circuit event, possibly Castle Combe or Ibsley, fifteen in all: five 4 by 3, one 4 by 5½, two 4 by 6, six 3 by 5, plus a 6 by 8in. of the original Ecurie Ecosse transporter and Jaguar C-type at Silverstone in May 1953, sold with thirty-five period prints of other sports: two show jumping, three ice-hockey, two bowls, twenty-eight tennis, including Wimbledon 1948, mostly 3 by 5in., some captioned on the reverse (50) Blandford was hailed as a road race, but the circuit actually ran within the army camp. It was fast and particularly dangerous with many telegraph poles, military installations and buildings lining the track. There was one fatality, while another competitor's car famously ended up on a barracks roof.
