The Festival of History - Northamptonshire

[nexus-6-mariner]

Attending for the first time this year. Anyone else been before? Looks like a right blast. The Spitfire and Messerschmitt dogfight could be interesting. There will be hell on if the German kite wins!

Wow what a weekend. I'll sort some relevant pics out soon and add them to this thread. Got some super shots of the WWII re-enactment and some equally impressive shots of the TWO Messershmitt's who did indeed get whooped by the Spit!

Comedy moment of the weekend was two German soldiers in full uniform stood in the queue for a sweet creperie! I guess they had to eat too.

This is a excellent event which our group have done since the event moved there 4 years ago. I was there with 2nd Guards Rifle Div.

Cheers, Ade.

You got me interested in The Victory Show but the site seems to be playing up. Anyone know how much to get in and is it worth staying near by and going to both days?
