Military & Flying Machines 2014

A couple of weeks ago I was at the Military & Flying Machines Show at Damyns Hall in Essex.  I haven't got round to posting my pictures until now so here's a few from what turned out to be a great day. 

Ray was there selling his D-Day Anniversary book accompanied by some of the veterans featured in the book. 

There was a small selection of vehicles at the show but no heavy armour this year.

A Dodge Weapons Carrier alternatively known as a  'Beep' 

The vehicle was beautifully kitted out with lots of extra equipment, weapons and personal items.

Another highlight was this German Field Hospital with a vast amount of kit on display.

The only heavy armour on site was this replica Stug.

The main highlight was a flyover display by a wartime Dakota. 

...and very late in the day (probably due to the weather) this Spitfire.

A very nice day with lots of time spent chatting with the Veterans and exploring the various trade stalls on the site. Not a bad show this year but noticeably smaller than previous years. 

Right we are off on holiday for a week. I'll bring my tablet away with me but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to post next week, but I have some militray museums on my hit list (including the Cobbaton Combat Collection) so expect some pictures the following week.
