Its been another busy weekend with yet another big family outing, this time to the Military and Flying Machines Show at Damyns Hall Aerodrome, just a few miles from where I live. This is a small but growing show that has a rich variety of stuff to see and is very family oriented. They usually have a small but interesting selection of vehicles on display plus a few aircraft. Being a working airfield some of the planes are available to view before they take to the air, but the show also attracts a few visiting aircraft. This year the B17 "Sally B" was due to do a flyover but bad weather at Duxford meant it couldn't come on the Saturday. Despite this it was a great little show and all the family had a great time.
As usual I shot a load of pictures which I have been able to edit and review before selecting a few to show here. I hope you like them.

Thanks for sharing great photos!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos!
ReplyDeleteThe Cromwell was bought, but not headed to your garage?? ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was on sale at the War and Peace show a couple of weeks ago for £200,000 which was a little beyond my budget! If only my lottery numbers had come up a few weeks ago! I can see it now... I return from the show and the wife says "did you buy anything dear?" and I reply "Yes darling, and we'll never have to worry about a parking space again!"
DeleteAgain, nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteLooks lieke there's no show without Big Lee!
Some crackers there Lee, I'd love to see the Huey flying.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pics again Lee!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff.. I wonder what they used as the basis for the Stug - I don't recognise the chassis?
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. I'm a bit curious about the colour difference between the Cromwell and the Universal Carrier... I suppose both are renovated and repainted?
ReplyDeleteRe the Stug it looks like it's built on a FV432 chassis.
