Yorkshire Air Museum "Against the Odds" – May 11~13th

This was only the second “Against the Odds” event at Elvington, the museum’s replacement for the retired Yorkshire MVT “Battlegroup North” event. As seen below, it was a rare chance to see the Handley Page Halifax outdoors and get some unique photos.

I arrived mid afternoon on Friday 11th and set up camp near the control tower. The rest of the day allowed me to get some photos of the Halifax and other museum exhibits without people in the way, especially when everyone cleared off to eat. For 2018, I converted my “Follow Me” Jeep to RAF markings, and took the opportunity to get lots of pictures around “Friday 13th”

By Saturday morning all the re-enactor and vehicle displays had arrived and were set up ready. They included a few civilian cars, a few other military vehicles, bomb disposal, airborne troops and dancers. I’ve combined a number of pictures on this page to try and show as much as possible without the pictures getting out of hand.
