Thank you all for the information you have sent either through the dicussion forum or directly. We have established that the film was made by Michael Winterton, who many of us old timers remember with great affection. I will forward all the information to the enquirer who is making a Heritage film.

The Ribble Valley Driving Club did indeed organise the annual drives over the bay.

For each drive they all stabled at Cartmel Racecourse over the weekend of the drive.

Sorry - don't know who did the film.

I have been asked for information about the day Prince Philip drove across Morecambe Bay accompanied by many HDT and North West drivers, (the day before Holker). Does anyone know who took the film of it. If so please could you contact me.
Cheers, margaretbrockiezzz@talktalk.net (remove the zzz)
