The War & Peace Show 2011

Post by Motley »

At the weekend i went to the War & Peace show which is the worlds largest miltary show with over 4000 vehicles being involved, aswell as the vehicles there is a living history side to the show where people dress up and make camps as say WW2 germans, which i really loved seeing all the camps like that and then there was also reinactments as well through out the day. I would well recommend this show to anyone, as you see vehicles from all time periods, weird and wonderful ones you probably would never see, the trading area is just amazing and you can buy just about anything you could ever want, and is just a good all round day out. Think next year im going to see if anyone wants to go with me all 5 days :ha: .

Now on with some picys the rest of the ones i took can be found here: http://s1094.photobucket.com/albums/i45 ... ce%202011/;

It was but in the back ground along the table its all Spitfires and Hurricanes, the idea was to show like an aircraft from every unit that took part in the Battle of Britain I think :)
