Gordon Cruickshank memorial
Brooklands memorial to take place for Motor Sport's long-serving editor
John Bushell
A memorial to remember the remarkable life of Gordon Cruickshank will take place at the end of July.
Our much-missed colleague and long-serving editor died shortly before Christmas last year, and friends have now arranged a celebration at Brooklands, befitting a figure whose Motor Sport career stretched to almost 40 years.
Readers who would like to know more should email ([email protected]) using ‘Gordon’ in the subject line. We will pass your details and interest on.
In tribute to Gordon Cruickshank
When asked to write an appreciation of someone’s life, I think the trick is to look for and hope to find enough in their character and achievements to make them stand out as someone special, a cut above. It’s what you do. Except when the subject is Gordon Cruickshank. For him no looking was ever going to be required; because the fact he was one of most extraordinary people you could ever have the dumb luck to meet was nose-on-face obvious to literally everyone who got to know him.
