The August issue of Vintage Metal has reached VSCC of WA members and the format is still evolving.

Dad’s Army News, a regular feature of Vintage Metal, in this issue describes the Christmas in July trip by the Dad’s Army boys to Cunderdin and Kellerberrin.

There is also another book review, this time of Klemantaski: Master Motorsports Photographer by Paul Parker. I used images of the front cover and three sample photographs from within the book to illustrate the review. It is a wonderful record of motor racing the way it used to be.

New in this issue is Letters to the Editor, which I hope will encourage other members to write in and create a members’ forum. Two of the letters are the result of on-going discussion prompted by the article State of the Sport in the June issue.

The other feature in the August issue is an article about HANS devices that first appeared in a supplement to the May 2015 Octane magazine (with the permission of Octane’s publisher of course). It is aimed very much at the sort of people who are VSCC of WA members, so is a valid comment on the desirability of such devices.
