Title: 1940's revisted may 19th Post by: renegade53 on May 20, 2012, 10:29:14 AM this event held at brooklands it was the first one they've done. live swing music, dance lessons etc. air raid shelter, pill box and various vehicles. many people got into period clothing, even down to their kids complete with evacuation tags and cardboard gas mask boxes.
here's a couple of vids of the home guard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nlo_nYWiKXI bayonet practice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r90L_n8ykwY&feature=relmfu armoured car Title: Re: 1940's revisted may 19th Post by: Bus Boy on May 20, 2012, 05:19:49 PM Dunno bout the armoured car but I was scared of the guy with the walking stick!!!! ;D

Such attention to detail. Were the "extras" professionals or members of the public, like the Goodward Revival meeting? Where do you get a 40s haircut?
Title: Re: 1940's revisted may 19th Post by: renegade53 on May 23, 2012, 04:09:41 PM next year its on the 18th, i enjoyed the way people got dressed up in civvies or military. the little kid in the car looks like he had a short back and sides. just a great day out, the sound of a merlin was heard overhead about 12 but couldn't see anything he must have been above the clouds. members of the public and cheaper than goodwood and closer to home
