The Victory show 2012
Hi
I for one love this show and are bumping it up because it this weekend.

Yep, until a couple of years ago I had never even heard of it, been ever since, it really is a sleeper of a show, close to the motorway and lots to see..
If anyone’s interested, you tube the Victory Show..
If you have kids that love all things war, they will enjoy it immensely. Just take them some ear plugs if close to the battle. 😉
It’s all done by the owners of a farm for local charities
That’s the display crowd line and the runway is the light patch behind it, the gap in the hedge the runway goes through can be seen

Love the way the grass strip is almost part of the showground – feels as if all they did was remove a hedge to join a couple of fields together to get the requisite length – It’s just like a wartime temporary airfield.
Last year MH bought two P51s – to see them bouncing over the grass tussocks to line up for take off was a completely different experience for those used to manicured strips.
Will be a good vehicle display as well

Nice aircraft bio’s, I wonder which upstanding, good looking, spitfire mad chap wrote those…:rolleyes:
